Château Dauzac 2021

Description

Fragranced and nuanced on the nose with savoury touches, a lovely combination of ripe red and black fruits – cherries and bramble fruits with dark chocolate, liquorice and graphite touches. It’s ample and generous and there is some glamour, but doesn’t quite have the weight for the follow through at the moment. Lightly framed, good succulence, tension and precision but lacking a little depth. Definitely more linear and straight right now. Clear tobacco and coffee touches with mint too on the finish too. Feels sculpted with nice elements but will be good to age and round out. Drinking window: 2025-2035. Score – 91. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com, March 31, 2022)
