Ripe fruit and toasted notes on the nose. Rich and fleshy, this has an initial bounce and lift with juicy acidity and chalky red berry fruit but also quite compact tannins that bring the power to the fore and stop the finish a little short. I love the precision and cool freshness on show but feels a bit tense and lean still. A touch sombre towards the finish, the opulence of the vintage shining through, with the dark fruit emerging alongside notes of bitter chocolate, tobacco, liquorice and aniseed. Full and glamourous but will be nice once the elements harmonise a little more.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Some sweet berries such as plums and cherries with hints of dried bark on both the nose and palate. Medium-bodied and attractive with fluidity as well as firm and silky tannins. Drink after 2027.

This shows the lush, warm fruit profile of the vintage, with blackberry and boysenberry notes gliding atop the subtle, graphite-tinged structure, along with black tea, ink and singed alder accents. Will have fans for sure. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2036. 6,000 cases made.

The 2022 Dassault is a potent, exotic wine. Inky dark fruit, cloves, new leather, licorice, spice and menthol flesh out in a rich, deeply layered Saint-Émilion. All the elements are impeccably balanced. Dassault is an extrovert, and a gorgeous one at that!

The 2022 Château Dassault is a powerful, inky, concentrated effort that's going to demand – and reward – cellaring. Black cherry liqueur, new leather, graphite, and violet notes define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a juicy spine of acidity, nicely integrated tannins, and a great finish. Hide bottle for 4-6 years, and it's going to drink nicely over the following 15-20 years. The blend is 76% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon that was aged in 60% new barrels, with 11% in foudre and 10% in amphora.

The 2022 from the Dassault family’s flagship estate presents a rather dark and smoky layer of fruit on the nose – doesn’t it always – with additional layers of toast, salted liquorice and black pepper. The palate holds together quite nicely, marrying these dark fruit flavours with powdered chalk, honeyed oak, peonies and white pepper, all set against a robust backbone of confidently extracted tannins, very much in the Dassault style. This is a dark, rich and bold St Emilion which finishes with a flourish of grippy tannins which will demand cellar time. But it will get there in the end. Tasted twice.
