Well how funny that one arrived one or two days after the Beaujeu from Gerard Boulay....
Nose of verbena, vegetal, anise, fenel, interesting, still a good amount of fruit in there, very delicate, but very discreet at the same time...
Palate is quite vibrant and sharp but shows little as well, maybe it should be decanter for a couple of hours, so far the wines does not impress unless by its price !!! not a good value according to the so many outstanding wines of this area and location... Beaujeu was way ahead of it ... in both style and intensity ( lets say basic qualities)
Still a good wine, but surely here the '"label" does most of the job.... wait a few more years ... ???

Occasional dinner group; Bordeaux 2000 (@ Merlet): Focused bouquet with citrus, minerals and a touch of petrol. On the palate the same. A lot of focus and really beautiful with good acidity. Improved considerably when the wine became a bit less cold.

Verticale de Dagueneau au Petit Resto. Nez qui ne se livre pas facilement. Vin fermé au départ, s'améliore à l'aération. La bouche est belle, plus élégante et raffinée, moins tendue, je trouve la longueur moyenne par contre, cela semble "tomber" vers la fin en bouche, comparativement surtout aux Silex. Mais une belle bouteille avec un bel avenir à mon humble avis

Verticale du Domaine Didier Dagueneau (Au Petit Resto): Un vin déjà complexe. C'est un style de Monts Damnés moins opulent que d'autres, avec une puissance aromatique certaine, doublée d'une grande finesse. Un vin moins long et puissant que Silex, mais plus large et subtil. Superbe. 94+
