Château de Sales
Héritiers de Lambert Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
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.

Mar 23rd, 2015Not a fan. Overripe Cali style. Too syrupy/jammy. Not a good value at $45.

Jan 15th, 2024Good 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.
