Tasting at Château Dauzac. Bold fruit, tight tannins. Touch of mineral, cassis, light spice, stewed tomato character. Elegant wine with good balance. Early drinking style.

Very light, feels more like cab franc and merlot rather than cab sauv and merlot. A bit tok tannic for how thin the body is but overall has nice structure. Typical fruit profile and hints of cedar. Not my favorite but I don't hate it. I think there are better wines out there for the price.

More Haut-Médoc like than Margaux. Concentrated and powerful. Purple and black berry notes dominate. A little edgy at the back. Three to five years in bottle will serve it well.

Coravin access. Tasted alongside the 2019 Domaine de Saint-Guirons, a textbook Pauillac.
Fresh, distinctively Left Bank Bordeaux, shading to Haut-Médoc. Quite fruity, though not heavily extracted, yet decidedly over-oaked. Serious acid, medium minus tannins, including oak-imparted. This needs a few years to show its best. Drink by 2028-2030. 89-90.

This is a 65/35 Cab/Merlot blend. In the glass it presents a bright purple red colour, and the nose is equally vibrant. Lots of ripe blackcurrant and cassis fruit and a touch of oak... overall quite fresh. Fairly fleshy and ripe on the palate as well. This is drinking well now as a young wine and should easily cellar to the mid-term but I doubt it has the structure for long-term aging. Valuewise it feels OK around €22.
