Chateau Labastide Dauzac 2009

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (88)

Tasted at the vertical retrospective at the property. The 2009 Labastide Dauzac has more fruit intensity compared to the previous four vintages: blackcurrant and red plum scents, just a touch of cedar in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, more masculine than you would expect given the vintage and blend, with a gentle grip on the saline finish.

Winespectator (89)

Perfumy and polished, with a lilac note giving way to supple blackberry, currant and plum fruit flavors. Subtle anise and violet notes linger on the finish, with a twinge of iron.
