  This has become much more smooth and supple, but is still brighter than usual. The blend in 2017 is 55% Syrah and 45% Cab (much more Cab than usual) and the abv is 13.7% (quite a bit lower than 2016 and 2015, which were 14.5% and 14.1% respectively).
  
  Aromas of red and purple fruits, thyme, raw lamb fat, rosehips. Fresh and lively on the palate, layers of tart fruit and airy herbs. This is still primary and will no doubt evolve positively for many more years.

  By the glass. Fortunately the contribution of merlot grape, especially in the mouth, softens this wine despite also bringing cabernet sauvignon and syrah. I mean on the palate, with sense and a lowered structure that leaves a beleaguered yet firm texture. Time through barrels of the Domaine Dujac is also felt with spicy notes like nutmeg. Concentration that only the pass of time will allow to be truly enjoyed. International style wine that is released mainly in the North American market. I understand the reason why ...
  
  Por copas. Afortunadamente la aportación de la uva merlot, especialmente en la boca, suaviza el vino pese a llevar también cabernet sauvignon y syrah. Me refiero en el paladar, con sentido y una estructura rebajada que deja una textura asedada aunque firme. El paso por barriles del Domaine Dujac también se hace sentir con notas especiadas cómo la nuez moscada. Concentración que sólo el paso del tiempo permitirá ser verdaderamente disfrutada. Vino de estilo internacional que se lanza principalmente en el mercado norteamericano. Entiendo la razón ...

  Meaty and savory, and much more red fruit than usual. Red plum, strawberry, redcurrant, rosehips, raw meat, a hint of dried mint, and other vague notions of herbs and leaves. This is not a full nor generous St. Auguste, but it is full of intrigue. Tart and tense, it could probably use a few months to settle down. With purity and verve to spare, I am optimistic that this wine will improve for many years, but it is decidedly awkward today.
