James Suckling - 95 p - "A fresh-toned and complex Fronsac, showing a touch of cocoa powder to the ripe berry fruit plus a hint of ink, graphite and spices. Almost full-bodied but not heavy, with vibrating tannins towing the fruit to a long, lively finish. The tannins are chalky and already dissolved. Merlot and cabernet franc. Delicious now but will hold well in the next eight to ten years."

Jeff Leve - 94 p - "Spices, flowers, fruits, silky tannins and layers of red and black plums that are a treat to taste. The wine is medium-bodied, soft, round and delivers length and complexity in the finish. Drink from 2025-2037."

Yves Beck - 95 p - "Que d'expressions, de pluralité, de fraicheur dans le bouquet de Dalem qui brille autant de ses notes de baies rouges que de son caractère crayeux. Dense et velouté en attaque, le vin cumule largeur et vigeur. Il adopte une stature sereine et aboutie, garante d'un avenir prometteur tout en étant déjà délicieux! Très belle réussite."

Christer Byklum - 94 p - "Ruby. Dark fruits, cassis, blackberries, spices, ripe and richer nose, detailed. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, blackberries, detailed, cassis, blueberries, intense and dark fruits, long finish."

Vert de vin 93-94 p - "The nose is fruity and offers a nice creaminess, gourmandise as well as a toasted side. It reveals notes of creamy raspberry, crushed red currants and small notes of purple plums associated with touches of morello cherry, balsamic as well as fine hints of cardamom and sense of place (local biotope). The palate is mineral, well-balanced and offers freshness, elegance, a beautiful matter as well as beautiful racy grain. Finesse in its grain as well as in its concentration. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, strawberry and small notes of pulpy black currant associated with touches of licorice, colas, balsamic as well as hints of creamy vanilla. Good length. Tannins are elegant and mellow. Good persistence."

In Vino - 16 p - "Nyanserad doft av cassis, mörka plommon, mörk choklad, kaffe, korinter, färska örter, grön paprika och fatkryddor. Torr, drygt medelfyllig, koncentrerad mörkfruktig och örtig smak med drygt medelhög syra, tuggiga, balanserade tanniner och en lång, bra, komplex eftersmak med en del ekfatstoner på slutet."

Wine Spectator - 92 p - "A nicely saturated core of plum and cassis flavours is well-supported by warm earth and sweet tobacco notes. Shows violet and sanguine flashes through the focused, steady finish."

Falstaff - 92 p - "Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle rim brightening. Fresh black cherries, dark wild berries, delicate herbal savouriness, mineral touch. Medium-bodied, red berries and fresh, pleasant acidic bow, lemony-mineral finish, a lively food companion."
