Château de Sales
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Vintage 2010 | Is getting better in shape, I wrote four years ago. But to really enjoy a wine in all dimensions you need to wait. I like matured wine and this Pomerol gets a velvety expression and beautiful tertiary tones.

This Right Bank Bordeaux is bright Ruby red, from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Fresh red fruit aromas, with complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of blackberry and cherry with hints of plum, some cacao, tobacco and licorice notes. This wine shows oak and mineral tones with smooth tannins and great balance. Lingering finish, smooth, with complex ending. Best to consume on the younger side, no real benefit from long-term aging. Reasonably price, good value.

Jun 23rd, 2017Chateau de Sales is the largest estate in Pomerol and has been owned by the same family for more than 500 years, built during the 17th century. I noticed fresh red fruit aromas, with aromatic spice. On the palate black cherries and red plums, cacao, rustic herbs and earthy. Smooth tannins, nice balance ending with mineral tones and fruit finish.

Quality dry red wine but lackluster overall.

Juicy, fruity, oaky good acid. Great deal for $20. Though less typical to me for a Bordeaux, then again this is Pomerol!
