Sporting a dense purple hue as well as lots of mulberry and blueberry fruits, the 2018 Chateau La Dauphine is medium to full-bodied and offers a complex, spicy nose of new leather, camphor, cedar, and flowers, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The whole upper plateau of Fronsac did beautifully in 2018, and this is well worth seeking out.

Aromas of dried blueberries, currants, bitter chocolate, chalk and sweet tobacco. It's medium-to full-bodied with compact, firm tannins that provide form and tension. Racy and energetic finish that goes on for minutes.
