Jane Anson
Cocoa bean, bilberry and red cherry fruit, succulent with sappy patisserie and capsicum character, vivid with lift. 40% new oak. 88 points
Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Dalem offers a striking mix of fruit intensity and energy. Crushed red berry fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper, slate and blood orange give Dalem tons of energy to match its mid-weight personality. There`s terrific energy and drive here. Tasted two times. 90-92 points
Neal Martin
The 2025 Dalem has a perfumed and floral bouquet, with touches of violet infusing the ebullient black cherry and raspberry fruit. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a keen line of acidity, velvety in texture, with commendable weight and finesse on the finish. What a very able, very delicious Dalem this will become. 92-94 points
