Château Dalem
Fronsac Merlot Cabernet Franc
Fronsac, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
A nice nose full of primary, binary and tertiary scents : black currant, vanilla, toast, blond tobacco, ceddar, leather, a hint of mint, some meat juice and some earthiness, wet soil too. Wow! The palate is delicious : it starts with a radiant black currant, then it goes large with a silky touch on the sides, some meat juice, some gentle tannins wich have perfectly incorporated and a long silky finish with that nice weight and touch which lasts for a very long while. It certainly has a lot of matter and distinction for a vintage which is considered a rather poor one. For less than 20 EUR (retail price) this is quite a bargain!
