Deep dark ruby color. Almost opaque. Great nose. Notes of bing cherries, rhubarb, some dark soil and a little Asian spice. Lots of fruit and power in the mouth. Still young but has shed some roughness to be open for business. Much better than a typical Village wine, a testament to the big 05 vintage. 93+

May 24th, 2022Dark scarlet color, almost opaque. Powerful nose. Notes of black fruit, spice, dark soil, iron and some sois bois. Rich and deeply penetrating in the mouth. Mouth puckering finish. I have to say Wow, because this is my first sip of an 05 Dujac since tasting at the Domain years ago when we got to sample the 05 lineup. All I can say is if this is their Village bottling, the 1ers and GCs are going to be off the charts! Even this MSD is going to be a rock star with 5 more years on its side.

May 22nd, 2017More riper fruit than 09, oxidized red cherry. Med body, med p acid, med p intnensity, med p tannin. Good amount of structure than can pair with fat food, but have fruity finish.
