Dalem 2022 (750ML)

94-95 JS / 91-93 JD/ 91-93 VM / 92 JA / 89-91 WA

This has a wide velvety texture with medium to full body and beautiful dark fruit in the middle. Ripe but crunchy with well integrated velvety tannins. Lingering and textural at the end. One of the best from here. - James Suckling

I loved the 2022 Château Dalem, and this château offers some serious bang for the buck. Cassis, plums, black cherries, and leafy herbs, as well as some spicy oak, all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, supple mouthfeel and outstanding length. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Dalem is a gorgeous, sensual wine. Sweet red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and spice abound in a Fronsac that impresses with its energy and nuance. Dalem is once again terrific in 2022 - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Powerful, plenty of tannins, with dark chocolate character, fig, blackberry, cassis, cocoa bean, liqourice. A good quality wine with chunky tannins. 50% new oak, 3.6ph - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

The 2022 Dalem reveals a pretty bouquet of cherries, dark berries, spring flowers and cassis, framed by hints of nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full-bodied, lively and tensile, with a charming core of fruit, bright acids and chalky tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish. - Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate
