"Sweet red and black currant fruit combined with forest floor and floral notes make for an enticing aromatic display. Never a blockbuster, Dassault tends to be a supple, elegant, fruit-filled wine that is very satisfying on a hedonistic level. The 2008 fulfills all of those requirements. It displays lovely balance, soft tannins, and good freshness as well as liveliness in its medium-bodied, richly fruity personality. Consume it over the next 10-15 years."Robert Parker
