  Wine tasting with friends. I brought this Daou as part of a vertical 2010, 2011, 2012. The 2010 was the star by all criteria (nose, mouth feel, balance, finish). The 2011 showed higher acid and less fruit. The 2012 was getting there on the overall.

  It is with this wine that we began to perceive the outstandingly promising Cab Franc from Daou.

  Should be decanted for sediment and aeration. After decanting for two hours, the nose showed some dark red fruits, charcoal and a whiff of green pepper. On the palate, the earthy notes surpassed the dark red fruits, along with a touch of spice and green pepper. All in a medium to plus bodied wine, with some faint tannins, and sturdy acidity. I would suggest drinking up in the next year or two.

  Garnet color. Plum, dark cherry, and vanilla aromas. Dark fruit, tobacco, oak, and spice flavors. Long soft finish.
