Château Dalem Fronsac AOP

94-95p James Suckling (jamessuckling.com) This has a wide velvety texture with medium to full body and beautiful dark fruit in the middle. Ripe but crunchy with well integrated velvety tannins. Lingering and textural at the end. One of the best from here. 89-91p William Kelley (robertparker.com) The 2022 Dalem reveals a pretty bouquet of cherries, dark berries, spring flowers and cassis, framed by hints of nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full-bodied, lively and tensile, with a charming core of fruit, bright acids and chalky tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish.) 92p Peter Moser (falstaff.com) Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Frische schwarze Herzkirschen, dunkle Waldbeeren, zarte Kräuterwürze, mineralischer Touch. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerig und frisch, angenehmer Säurebogen, zitronig-mineralisch im Abgang, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter.
