Château Dauzac 2012 – Margaux 3ème Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity and offers a certain intensity/concentration, a fine floral side as well as a fine spicy side. There are notes of creamy blackberry, crushed raspberry and more slightly of violet combined with delicate touches of iris, cherry blossom, Cuben pepper as well as discreet vanilla and a subtle hint of blond tobacco. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, a juicy/acidic structure, good definition, a certain gourmandise, tension, precision, a discreet straightness, dynamism and fat. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fresh raspberry, juicy/fresh cherry and, more slightly, tart/fresh blackberry, combined with hints of violet plum, fine points of lily, iris, nutmeg, toasted hazelnut and a subtle hint of bourbon vanilla and bergamot. A discreet hint of salinity in the background.
