Château Dassault 2011 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fresh, racy and offers concentration as well as a little airy side in its power. There are notes of blackcurrant, violet and more slightly zan associated with touches of fairly ripe black fruits as well as a discreet hint of Sichuan pepper (in the background) and an imperceptible hint of tobacco. The palate is fruity, balanced and offers juiciness, a little fleshiness, tension, elegance, nice definition, power, depth as well as a nice fine / precise texture. Pretty freshness and delicacy in its power. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright blue plum, blackcurrant and more slightly crushed raspberry associated with touches of graphite, camphor as well as hints of small juicy fruits, dark chocolate / cocoa and pepper. Tannins are elegant, precise and finely powdery. Good length
