2021
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
On the light side, but there is freshness, elegance, sweet fruits and a savory-edged, bight, crisp, mildly spicy, cherry oriented finish. Drink from 2024-2031. 712 Views Tasted Mar 9, 2024 |
2020
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Medium-bodied, soft, forward, fresh and spicy, with a core of sweet, red pit fruits, spice, lift and dusty tannins, with a touch of cocoa and leafy herbs that come in along with the endnote. This is the best vintage of Chateau de Sales I have ever tasted. Drink from 2023-2035. 3,012 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Flowers, licorice, roasted plums, cherries, coffee bean and cocoa on the nose create the perfume. Medium-bodied, soft, fresh and vivacious, the elegant wine offers loads of ripe, red pit fruits with bitter chocolate in the finish. This is the best vintage of Chateau de Sales I have ever tasted. 90-92 Pts 2,873 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |
2019
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
With a solid core of cocoa infused, plums, flowers and wet earth, there is a nice vibrancy, freshness and silky touch to all the sweet, ripe red fruits. Elegant, refined, earthy and with a cool, truffle and herb accent on the nose, this is already nice and promises to be even better with a few years of age. Things have really been on the upswing here lately as the wines have really stepped up in quality lately starting with the 2018 vintage and 2019 is even better! Drink from 2024-2034. 1,993 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022 |

Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Light in color and in fruit, the wine is unfussy, bright and easy to drink. This will be best in its youth. 2,136 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2018 |
2016
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Medium bodied, fresh, bright, but not quite crisp, the focus on the light, red fruits, with just a bit of earth for complexity. This is not very deep, but there is just enough here to please folks yearning for older, classic styles of Pomerol. This is probably the best vintage from de Sales, I recall tasting. 4,797 Views Tasted Apr 29, 2017 |

Château de Sales (Pomerol)

2006
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Light, bright and leaning to the red, tart berry side, the wine is more interesting on the earthy, floral, slanted cherry nose, than on the light red fruit palate. This is not a wine I would hold for evolution. 3,266 Views Tasted Feb 10, 2019 |
2005
Château de Sales (Pomerol)
Simple, medium bodied, fresh red berries, spice and earth aromas that finishes with red plum notes. This is not a wine for aging. 3,660 Views Tasted Feb 3, 2014 |
