Robert Parker, April 2010, Score: 88-90
The 2009 Dauzac reveals more new oak than most of its peers. The color is a dark ruby/purple, and the wine is broad and rich with sweet tannins, a corpulent personality, and plenty of spicy oak intermixed with black currant and black cherry fruit. It should drink well for 20-25 years.

Decanter, April 2010, Score: 17
Deep purple red, very good fragrant Cabernet/cassis fruit, fine ripeness and lifted length, good structure after a seductive attack, very attractive wine. Drink 2014-22.

Region
Margaux
Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
