Note di degustazione
The 2012 Dassault is intensely ripe, powerful and concentrated, with plenty of jammy dark fruit and sweet oak. There is no shortage of immediacy here, that is sure, but I find the wine a bit monolithic.

This property has been on the upswing for a number of years now, and the 2012 Dassault is showing brilliantly. Dense plum/purple, with sweet blueberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, the wine cuts a broad, full-bodied swath on the palate. It has silky tannins and is forward, seductive and opulent. Drink it over the next decade or more. This is a beauty and a real crowd-pleaser.
Darkest black cherry colour. Pure dark cassis fruit and just a touch of oak spice but nicely in check to promote the fruit. Tannins are on the dry side, with oak tannins also prominent. Just a little bit drying but there's probably enough fruit stuffing for it to come good with plenty of time in bottle. (JH)
