The most impressive development at Daumas Gassac is the adaptation of the Cabernet Sauvignon to its environment. As the vines mature, that dominating Cabernet taste, so presumptuous in the 1978 and 1980, has gone from forte to piano, and one finds instead all those wild aromas with which the air there is charged. They are present in the 1983, a sensual, aromatic delight that shocks the senses by virtue of its originality and seems to penetrate right into one’s bloodstream.
