Lisa Perotti Brown bewertet das Fassmuster am 27.04.2018 in der Ausgabe 236 des Wine Advocate wie folgt: The probable blend of the 2017 Dalem is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored. it has expressive. opulent notes of preserved plums. blackberry pie and Indian spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a great core of wonderfully pure. ripe black fruit and spicy accents. plus plush tannins and great freshness to support. finishing long.
James Suckling bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:This is so solid and beautiful with a delicious core of ripe fruit of dark berries and currants. Some chocolate. Medium body. silky tannins and a fresh finish.
Das Team von Vinous bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:The 2017 Dalem felt somewhat reduced on the nose making it difficult to read although a second showing towards the end of my tastings revealed an engaging floral bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin. sweet and plush in the mouth with blueberry. vanilla extract and cassis towards the velvety finish that fortunately does not push too hard. This is a well- crafted Fronsac from Brigitte Rullier-Loussert.
Wir bewerten den Chateau Dalem 2017 wie folgt:Mittlere bis Mid Plus Konzentration. sehr klar und fruchtdominiert. Schöne süsse zeigend. dunkle kleinbeerige Frucht etwas Kirsche und ganz zartes Holz mit Schokonuancen. Am Gaumen satt und sehr gute Tanninstruktur bleibt satt. fruchtig und saftig.
