Château Dassault 2012 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

91–93. Barrel sample. This solid wine is dark with tannins and a dense, extracted texture. The palate is weighty with an intensely dry core and a serious, mineral character. For long-term aging. — R.V. (4/9/2013)

Château Dassault 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

90-92 So stylish, with its ripe, jammy berry fruits already a pleasure to appreciate. It does have structure to go with the new wood character. Probably not for the long-term. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Dassault 2006 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

88—90 Barrel sample. The man who makes Dassault aeroplanes, also owns this property. It’s improving, as witnessed by this dense, dark wine, very solid, dark chocolate. — R.V. (12/31/2009)

86-88 Barrel sample. Too spicy, without compensating fruit, this property, owned by the French aircraft-making family, is performing below high expectations. — R.V. (6/21/2006)
