Tasting notes
A saturated dark ruby/purple color is followed by elegant, floral, red and black currant aromas. The wine is well-structured, medium-bodied, and ripe, with fine length as well as a deep mid-palate. It can be drunk early, but promises to last for nearly two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2017.

Flowers, minerals and blackberry on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a caressing, silky mouthfeel. Pretty and balanced. Nicely evolved now. '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 10,830 cases made. – James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2009

About the producer
There have been many changes here over the past few decades – from changing rootstock and restructuring the vineyards, to an ever-smaller selection for the Grand Vin, making Dauzac an estate to watch.
