2006 Château Dassault

Description

Robert Parker for Wine Advocate
“A classic hedonistic style of St.-Emilion from famous French aircraft manufacturers, this wine displays oodles of plum and red and black currant notes with sweet cherries and roasted herbs. Soft and racy, the velvety texture cascades over the palate. This is a vin de plaisir and proud of it. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.” (2/2009)

Wine Spectator
“Shows berry and cherry aromas, with hints of rose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicate finish. A little austere now, but will mellow with bottle age.” (3/2009)
