2019 Dalem, Fronsac (Pre-Arrival)

SKU #1480648 93-95 points Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2019 Dalem has a superb bouquet with sensual, pure black fruit that entice you in. It is beautifully integrated with the oak. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, pin-point acidity and a harmonious, satin-textured finish that is pure delight. One of the best Dalems ever produced. Bravo. (NM) Inner quote mark (6/2020)

92-94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Dalem needs a few swirls before it really starts to show off all its vibrant black cherries, kirsch and black raspberry scents, followed by hints of camphor, pencil shavings and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of crunchy black fruits with loads of freshness and perfume and a soft, approachable texture, finishing with a minty kick. (LPB) Inner quote mark (6/2020)

92-93 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Blueberries, minerals, slate and stone. It’s medium-bodied with medium, polished tannins and a linear finish. Nice balance. Lovely length to this. Inner quote mark (4/2020)

91-93 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark This estate continues to deliver, and the 2019 Château Dalem is another winner. Loads of crème de cassis and jammy blackberry fruits as well as spice and tobacco notes emerge from this beauty, which is full-bodied and has a great texture, impeccable balance, and no shortage of length on the finish. It's going to put a smile on your face for at least a decade. Inner quote mark (6/2020)

91 points Decanter

Outer quote mark Another good wine from Fronsac here, a little more chocolate and black truffle than some, has a gourmet edge that is well matched by minerality. Overall a seductive feel to this while still wanting to be taken seriously. One to look out for. A yield of 41hl/ha. 80% malo in barrel, 40% new oak. (JA) Inner quote mark (5/2020)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Merlot

- A very popular red grape variety found in the great wines of St. Emilion and Pomerol. It is the most planted variety in Bordeaux, and it has also become an extremely fashionable red in many regions including California. Although it has a reputation to be smooth, and easy to drink when young, Merlot is also capable of producing extremely intense wines as well. It is often used as a blending agent with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
