The aroma is more subtle at this stage, but it delivers fresh cherries and ripe cranberries through the aftertaste. The translucent body is the most outstanding highlight of this wine, making the dense and creamy tannins appear to be softer towards the finish. It could be served after a few years of aging. ??????????,?????????????????????????????????????????????,?????????????????????????????

This is wonderfully perfumed with blackcurrant and floral aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with super-integrated tannins that go on to the very end. Bright and vivid. One of the best Dauzacs ever. 73% cabernet sauvignon and 27% merlot. Best after 2026.

Mulberries, tobacco, new leather, redcurrants, spicy herbs, and violets all define the bouquet of the 2019 Château Dauzac, a pretty, medium-bodied, remarkably elegant and seamless Margaux with tons to love. It's certainly worth seeking out and is going to cruise for 15-20 years.

The 2019 Dauzac delivers aromas of ripe black fruits, burning embers and petroleum jelly. Full-bodied, rich and fleshy, it's a muscular, extracted style of Margaux, its generous core of fruit framed by ripe acids and an abundance of rich, powdery tannins. Despite its scale, however, it's not especially complex or characterful.

The 2019 Dauzac is an absolutely gorgeous wine that will appeal most to readers who enjoy sumptuous, flamboyant Bordeauxs. Plush, silky tannins envelop the finish, adding to the wine's considerable allure. The unabashedly flamboyant style is surely not for everyone, but there is certainly plenty to like here. Waves of inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, sweet oak, chocolate and espresso linger on the huge finish.

The 2019 Dauzac has a lovely bouquet of mixed red and black fruit, crushed violet and iris, all sensual and voluptuous yet controlled and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, good weight, and fine delineation and tension toward the finish. This is an excellent Dauzac that should give up to 20 years of drinking pleasure.

Composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, harvested from the 17th of September to the 10th of October, the 2019 Dauzac is aging in French oak barriques, 66% new. It weighs in at 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it soars out of the glass with vibrant notes of warm plums, fresh blackcurrants and redcurrant jelly with nuances of Indian spices, candied violets, dark chocolate and dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with loads of spicy accents and a firm structure of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and refreshing.

The 2019 Dauzac is a potent, inky wine. Crème de cassis, chocolate, espresso, licorice and sweet oak come together in a jammy wine that is a bit disjointed at this stage. The bouquet is a bit diffuse, while the 66% new oak is quite evident. Readers will find a flamboyant Margaux. Even with those caveats, I get the impression there is quite a bit of potential.

The 2019 Château Dauzac from Margaux is a ripe, fleshy effort that delivers plenty of darker, almost blue fruits as well as complex notes of violets, leafy herbs, and incense. With medium to full body, a supple, elegant texture, and good acidity, it should easily be an outstanding wine.

The 2019 Dauzac, a Margaux château recently sold to French businessman Christian Rolleau, was picked from 17 September to 10 October at 48hl/ha and matured in 66% new oak. The aromatics take a minute or two to cohere, eventually offering pastille-like red fruit mixed with light sous-bois and tobacco scents. The palate is fresh and fleshy on the entry, much more open for business compared to the nose. Winemaker Laurent Fortin has imbued this Margaux with superb salinity. I admire the spiciness on the finish. Excellent. This could be one of the appelation's best values.

Deep in color, the wine is medium-bodied, silky and finesse driven. The ripe fruit struts all over the place with its energetic presence. More than fruit, you also enjoy its flowery charm before arriving at the spicy, sensuous, refined, lengthy finish. The wine is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot aging in 67% new, French oak barrels. 93-95 Pts

This is linear and tight with beautiful concentration of tannins and dark fruit, as well as tar and dark chocolate. Full, yet racy and long. Very solid and structured with tannins that integrate well into the wine. Better than the 2018.

Strongly blackberry nose; full, fresh, finely but firmly tannic, well-balanced in a firmish style;
a fine concentration of sweet fruit, long and pure to taste, a delicate complexity, nicely sustained and with very good, gently fragrant length. Stylish and complete, very good Dauzac, and very nice Margaux. Even better with just a touch less new wood? But here one can now taste the (delicious) wine rather than the winemaking frame. A very pleasant surprise.
