Search Wine Tasting Notes

Flowers, 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

Medium-bodied, lean, classic, floral and cherry filled, this bright wine offers a forward approach for early drinking. 85-87 Pts

Light in color and in fruit, the wine is unfussy, bright and easy to drink. This will be best in its youth. 84 Points

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. 88 Points

Lean, tart, dry and thin, with some red berries poking through in the finish. 75 Points

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. 84 Points

Simple, medium bodied, fresh red berries, spice and earth aromas that finishes with red plum notes. This is not a wine for aging. 85 Points
