Tasting Notes

Has Dauzac ever made a wine this good? Deep ruby/purple, with notes of graphite and black currants followed by some spicy oak and licorice in a creamy, plump succulent texture that almost reminds me of a Right Bank wine, this 2009 is full-throttle, dense and super-concentrated. It is an amazing Dauzac. Drink it over the next 25 years. Drink: 2012 - 2037

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (199), March 2012

Sweet berry and plum aromas, with hints of toasted oak and coffee bean. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, pretty and fruity finish. Lacks a little of a midpalate.

James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, April 2010

Very rich and thick and sweet - almost tarry nose. Massive colour coats the inside of the glass. Quite a monster! Very plush and big and sweet. Most unusual. Could be drunk without food in the noisiest of bars and it would still make an impact. Pretty alcoholic. Date tasted 31st March 2010. Drink 2015-2027.

Deep purple red, very good fragrant Cabernet/cassis fruit, fine ripeness and lifted length, good structure after a seductive attack, very attractive wine. Drink 2014-2022.

Tasted at the Margaux UGC. A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot, this has a lively, ripe, joyful bouquet with fine definition and purity: blackberries, wild strawberry, a touch of cedar and sous-bois. Very fine definition. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very good balance...this is one of the Dauzac's that has been lighting up the Margaux tastings in recent years. Good structure on the sous-bois and tobacco tinged finish that lingers enticingly. Excellent. Tasted March 2010.
