Château Dassault - St.-Emilion 2019 (750ml) Truffle HillRated 94 by Decanter Tight and chewy tannins dominate the entry to this wine, with layers of liquorice, cigar box and sappy but concentrated cassis and blackberry fruits. The oak is evident but not overpowering and altogether this is broad shouldered but well handled and extracted, showing confidence, poise and estate signature. VM 93 Rated 93 by Vinous Media The 2019 Dassault offers up an attractive combination of dark fruit, spice, leather, tobacco
with lovely mousse
raw and cooked fish especially sushi and very soft cheeses
the Marquis Nicolas-Alexandre de Ségur
It is an altogether delicious
Lafite's mention as a medieval fief dates to the 14th century
although not hiding the layers of rich earthy loam
certain things in the world are better left alone
the 2021 Pinot Noir Gowan Creek Vineyard opens with a lovely aromatic nose of rose and forest
The Etna Rosso Contrada Monte Gorna opens with a mentholated freshness
and cantaloupe with a whiff of minerality
This estate is one to watch as it achieves the form the vineyard deserves
that blend to create a complex wine that is simultaneously rich and zippy–the best of all possible worlds
