From an assemblage of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot, the wine opens with coffee bean, fresh blackberries, plums and floral aromas. Round, soft and concentrated, this fun to taste, reasonably priced Margaux wine was a surprise, as I do not see it often. 6,805 Views Tasted Feb 1, 2012 |
When to Drink Chateau Dauzac, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau Dauzac can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1-2 hours, give or take. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Chateau Dauzac is usually better with at least 7-9 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Dauzac offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-18 years of age after the vintage.
