Château Dassault - St.-Emilion 2019 (750ml) Truffle Hill

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
