Deeply colored, the wine is loaded with chocolate, espresso, cinnamon, flowers, and black cherries. The fruits are creamy, luscious, ripe, sweet, and vibrant with a chocolate edge to the berries in the finish. This is an outstanding vintage for Chateau Dassault! Drink from 2025-2042. 92-94 Pts.

92 vvPunkte / (70% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.6% Alkohol) Dunkelfruchtig, Kirschen, Brombeeren, Leder, Lakritze, mineralische Untertöne, das Holz gut verpackt. Im Gaumen dicht und konzentriert, ein Mund voll Wein, sehr gut strukturiert, mit markanten, reifen Gerbstoffen und einem mächtigen, dunkelfruchtigen Finale. Kann reifen. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 / AGCCSE / Château Dassault) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Oaky plus, sweet spice, a sense of almost clumsy denseness on the nose (if you can imagine such a thing) and slightly dusty earthy. Medium plus intensity acidity, bitter woody drying tannins close down the palate. Not for me.
