Château de Sales 2014

A juicy, easy-drinking, classic Pomerol with a medium body, which will be enjoyable even when young.

Medium-bodied, light, bright, red berry-filled wine that is close to mature. This will be best over the next few years. Drink from 2023-2029.

Brightening garnet with medium density, fine rim. Open bouquet, red plums, slightly dusty on the attack. On the palate, certainly quite refined, but with a hint of artisanal cellar character.

Spicy, peppery, mineral bouquet with blueberries, black cherries, lemon balm and chocolate. Medium-bodied, silky palate with medium fruit, fine tannins, a rather slender structure, a sweet aromatic profile and a refined finish. Can still improve. 16/20 2019 - 2030

The nose is fairly refined and elegant. It reveals notes of blackberry, plum and delicate nuances of crushed blackcurrant, alongside hints of chocolate, a touch of crushed raspberry and subtle spicy notes (cardamom, black pepper). The palate is fruity and balanced, offering a delicate freshness as well as a mineral framework (distinctive minerality). On the palate, this wine shows notes of blackberry and plum, with fine hints of cherry and raspberry, joined by touches of liquorice and toasted oak. The tannins are well managed and just slightly youthful. Good length.
