Château Dauzac 2017

VertdeVin

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers a beautiful finesse of the grain, deepness and harmony. It reveals notes of blackberry, violet and small notes of strawberry, caramelization associated with fine hints of cardamom, sweet spices, violet/lilas as well as a very discreet hint of vanilla, tea and nutmeg. The mouth is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, a good definition, suavity, a fine unctuosity, a fine acidulous frame as well as tension. On the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, fleshy/juicy wild strawberry and small notes of crunchy raspberry associated with fine touches of juicy blueberry, violet/lily as well as hints of vanilla, toasted, cardamom as well as very discreet hints of vanilla, nutmeg (in the background) and an imperceptible hint of coffee (in the background). Tannins are precise, elegant and racy. Good length.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

There is a roundness to the tannins, that comes from a healthy dose of Merlot in the blend. The ripe, dark cherries are sweet, fresh and smoky, with earthy, leafy and floral nuances attached. This is already quite nice and should age well, for at least another 2 decades or longer.

James Suckling

Very perfumed and beautiful on the nose with crushed-raspberry, spearmint and licorice aromas that follow through to a medium body and firm, silky tannins. Bright and clean. Precise. Needs two or three years to open.
