Château Dauzac Margaux

The year 2014 was characterized by an atypical climate with a mild, rainy winter and an early spring with mild temperatures and cool nights. It was an early year, similar to 1990 and other great vintages. May was mixed with cool periods and temperatures reaching 30°C. Flowering took place under good conditions, with some grape fragmentation for the Merlots, which promoted aeration of the grapes. A disappointing summer with poor weather slowed the vine growth. Autumn was fabulous in September and October, dry and warm, the warmest in 100 years, which allowed the grapes to concentrate and achieve exceptional ripeness. Deep purple color with ruby ​​undertones. Very delicate yet complex aroma with a hint of gingerbread. On the palate, very soft and subtle tannins and flavors, a subtle mouthfeel with long-lasting, soft blackcurrant tannins. A well-balanced wine with a silky texture that promises excellent aging potential. Aged in barriques for 15 months. Enjoy by 2017-2030. Wine Spectator: 92 points
