Ratings By Robert Parker 87? Tasting Notes A chunky, monolithic style of wine with moderately high tannin, a dark ruby/purple color, good fruit, and a ruggedly constructed personality, the 2004 Dauzac lacks charm and finesse. Give it 1-2 years of bottle age, and drink it over the next 5-10 years.(Wine Advocate #171 Jun 2007) By… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes I had high expectations for the 2003, which has turned out to be a very good, solid wine, but not as superb as I had anticipated. A deep ruby/purple color is followed by a chunky, monolithic Margaux revealing high tannin along with plenty of damp earth characteristics interwoven… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes A well-made, deep ruby/purple-tinged wine with notes of dried herbs, damp earth, incense and new saddle leather, this is a heady, attractive, fruit-driven wine with moderate structure behind its initial attack. Anticipated maturity: now-2013.(Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes Lacking charm, this macho, muscular effort lacks charm, but is concentrated, monolithic, and dense. It should evolve into an excellent, possibly outstanding claret, but at present it is closed, tannic, and broodingly backward. Nevertheless, there is good purity as well as plenty of black fruits intermixed with earth,… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes Aromas of chocolate along with roasted meats, charcoal, black currants, and damp earthy scents jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored 2000. Highly-extracted, medium to full-bodied, chewy, not terribly complex, but big, corpulent, and bold, if it pulls itself together and develops additional nuances, this wine will… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes This is one of the finest Dauzacs to date. The 1999’s opaque purple color is followed by aromas and flavors of black currant and blueberry fruit, Asian spices, minerals, smoke, and toasty new oak. It is powerful and extracted, with low acidity. It will be at its best… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes A saturated dark ruby/purple color is followed by elegant, floral, red and black currant aromas. The wine is well-structured, medium-bodied, and ripe, with fine length as well as a deep mid-palate. It can be drunk early, but promises to last for nearly two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2017. (Wine… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes In spite of an attractive dark ruby/purple color, this wine came across as extremely tannic, with a sweet and sour combination of low acidity, high tannin, ripe fruit, and some abrasiveness. It is hard to know which components will win out, but it is usually the tannin, so… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes This wine offers sweet black currant fruit intertwined with smoke, herbs, and new oak. Medium-bodied, with good extract, moderate depth and tannin, and a ripe finish, it will drink well between 2002-2015. It is a good, middle-weight Margaux.(Wine Advocate #122 Apr 1999) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes A broodingly backward, tannic, dark ruby-colored wine, Dauzac’s 1995 borders on being too austere, but there is enough sweet black currant fruit, as well as medium body and a fleshy mid-palate to elicit enthusiasm. While this will never be a great claret, it is a well-made, competent Margaux… Read More »
