Pyrazines and wet spiced red fruit jump out of the glass. Acid-laced baked cinnamon spiced red delicious apple skins plus roasted poblano peppers. Vibrancy and youth even in 8 years age. Pair with salty cubes of hard cheese and Varzi Salami to enhance the baking spice and fruit quality.

Not very interesting, green flavored dominate the palate.

Decent black fruit, classically structured. Unexciting but all present and correct

Not a fan. Overripe Cali style. Too syrupy/jammy. Not a good value at $45.

Good value. Dark fruit and spice on the nose. Approachable on opening with plum, dark cherries, blackberries, undergrowth and a touch of graphite. Pleasant mouthwatering acidity at the front followed by moderate lingering tannins. Not a lot of layers but overall very good.

Tasty and light, with some richness.

Château De Sales Héritiers de Lambert Pomerol 2016: Medium body. Good balance between tannins and acidity. Classic structure with youthful fruit flavors. Black Cherry. Blackberry. Tobacco. Graphite. Baking spice. Smooth finish. An extremely food friendly Bordeaux blend worth exploring. Cheers🍷
