73 Cabernet Sauvignon, 27 Merlot. Very good, but rather internationally styled,fruit driven, with slightly smokey oak.

The 2016 Dauzac presents an impressive bouquet of intense black cherry and bilberry fruit, crushed stone and wilted violets; the oak here is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and pliant in the mouth. The saline finish fans out with style. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2020)

Classic, mature, and refined aromas. Notes of blueberry and blackberry, licorice, plum, and the herbal character of thyme and rosemary. A hint of graphite. Wonderfully balanced. Expertly crafted. The tannins are still present—in a pleasant way. *À point*—ready to drink. Enjoy this one now!

Surprisingly open & approachable right now.
Black cherry in the nose, with some mulberry and dark plum, but also a savory, rocky note. And a hit of licorice / mint adding freshness.
On the palate this is layered, suave, with velvety tannins, nice purity of fruit and juicy, fresh acidity. Beautiful depth here, and quite some seriousness and elegance.
Drinking beautifully right now!
Delish!

I was initially scared that I was opening this too soon but it is really in a great spot. Blue fruits and flowers, a bit of graphite, and layered tannins make for an excellent texture. Elegant wine with a luxurious mouthfeel. 73% Cabernet Sauvignon 27% Merlot.
