Fronsac, Libournais

Château de Sales

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Dark rubi robe, discrete nose of dark cherries, blackcurrant and a dollop of cedar. Medium bodied, mineral, fresh and balanced, with dark fruits nicely intertwined with fine tanins. This is excellent claret in a hot year, done in a classical way. Drink or hold. — 9 days ago

Château Fleur Cardinale

Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Last tasted 11.21.21 (9.3), Body has thinned out from medium heavy/heavy body to medium body along with one of the best BDX noses I've ever scented still performing as such. The 11.21.21 notes still holding up. Sprinkle a little corn meal into that nose and we are golden. Wine is currently in a state of transition but still so giving. Ridiculous value BDX. Need to pick up another 4-5 bottles. This is going to be a fascinating journey. 02.17.25. — 4 days ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

No formal notes . Quite dense ruby . Quite high toned floral character on the nose, very different from all others so far , this had to be the Petrus . More purple fruits , spicy . Spicy and rounded and quite exotic in character . On the palate this shows a juicy note and a rounder , richer riper tannin . Quite round on the finish , but ok generous finish . Floral and charming . This certainly showed exuberance and youthful , though it is also quite elegant and relatively fine boned in style. This can be drunk now and over the next 10 perhaps 15 years — 22 days ago
