Château Daugay
St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Sunday night and went to my wine room for a Bordeaux to top off the weekend. Tonight's wine is the 2010 Château Daugay 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc.
The aromas I am getting are pungent dark fruits that seem to be on the over cooked side. There is black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, leather, licorice, tar and dark rich soils.
On the palate I am getting the dark fruit again, black cherry, black raspberry, green bell pepper, black currant, leather, black licorice and dark soils.
This wine is full bodied that has a smooth and supple mouth feel with medium + acidity and medium + grippy sandy tannins that lead right to a long finish that is filled with dark fruits. We are about to embark on a new week and I ask that you be safe and have a wonderful week. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Young but promising. Exclusive to Spec's unfortunately. Drank with the owner which was extra special (also owns Chateau Angelus).

Feb 19th, 2018Ripe red plum, cassis, red raspberry. Quite a bit of structure. Clove spiciness points toward some new oak usage. Earthy in an inorganic way - iron, graphite. Menthol on the palate. Beautiful layers.

Primary, dark red fruit, almost jammy, red florals. Bright acids.
This is pretty Bordeaux.
Great attack, good structure a great cellar stuffer. 2011

Rich mocha and brown earth brown sugar blueberry cumin peppermint pattie and cedar cigar box aromas lead to a medium to light mouthfeel buoyed by solid acidity. Holly leaf, dusty oak and cinnamon pointedly acquiesce into a steak and tar, graphite and red currant concave tartness, with notes of burnt citrus. Slightly abrupt finish. A lot to appreciate despite its lopsided-ness, and unusually approachable initial richness.

Smooth and round. Not super dynamic but very pleasing at the same time. Reminds me of leathery notes with subtle dark fruit.

Short decant — 30 minutes?
NOSE: prune, leaves, dried cherry, a touch of cassis….first seemed over the hill but a swirl or two brought out some freshness…promising.
TASTE: Good! Wintergreen, pine, charcoal, coffee grounds, fruit’s mostly gone, but what’s there is dried (red fruit and cassis), minerally chocolate, leaves, some kind of root vegetable. Tannins dry the mouth. Not as good as the 2005 (duh) but still quite satisfying and wears its age well. I think this could age longer. 91.
