Chateau Dalem Fronsac 2021 Sustainable

93 Points Vinous 
The 2021 Dalem, now benefiting from the consulting of Eric Boissenot, has a lovely bouquet, quite refined and poised, featuring blackberry, wild hedgerow and light violet scents. The balanced palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and assiduously integrated oak. It fans out generously on the finish. Classy Fronsac. 

93 Points James Suckling
Blackberry, graphite and black-cherry aromas follow through to a full to medium body, creamy tannins and a juicy finish with blackberry, iron and ink. 

90 Points Decanter
Gentle red fruit flavours permeate the palate giving a sense of vibrancy, this has the acidity and mouthwatering aspects but also the frame and structure that gives a push-pull of both life and constriction. I like the texture and the salty stone as well as sour fruit aspects creating real interest on the palate. It's lightly framed but well worked with excellent clarity. A great effort here. Drinking Window 2024 - 2028.
