The 2006 Château Dauzac, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, appears to have reached full maturity on the nose, although there is abundant blackberry and mulberry fruit to suggest that it will keep for many years. The palate is medium-bodied, a little rustic on the entry with touches of bay leaf and tea leaf. There is a touch of dryness that is creeping in towards the finish when I was hoping for more fleshiness to show, which makes me think that it has longevity than I anticipated from barrel.
