Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: (2011 vintage) "Deep, dark, not quite opaque ruby-red colour. Slightly volatile black-fruit vies with meaty/earthy notes on the nose. The palate is open with lifted, slightly over-ripe black-fruit playing against tight angular tannins. The finish is drying but eventually gives up juicy red-freuit and cedary spices." - 11/15 DCAMW

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: A very deep purple that corresponds to the great wines that Château Dauzac has produced in the last few years. Nose: One immediately notices the power of its aromas that are rich with promise. Today, Dauzac joins the powerhouses of the appellation, and the density of this vintage will put it directly in the light in four to five years, after the first phase of aging in bottles. Made to last, it will maintain its aromatic complexity (grilled, liquorice) which is noticeable today. Mouth-feel: The tannic structure is full and powerful with a well-mastered woodiness. The perfect balance will make this Cru Classé accessible very soon. Ideally, it will be paired with grilled red meat. One could also serve it with roasted duckling or a capon in sauce...

Current condition: Ready to drink
