Chateau de Sales Pomerol 2021 Rated 92DM

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 92
Smooth and charming, this has a nice focus to it with zesty fresh fruit, raspberry, bright orange, cherry and chalky tannins. I love the ease to it, it's got power, but delicately poised, still with freshness and a lot of length. Nothing harsh here. Quite charged but really works with such freshness and cooling mint on the finish. Great acidity, not the most layered but really not trying too hard and leaning into the vintage in the best way. Streamlined and a touch lean but this will fill out in time. Drinking Window 2025-2040.

Wine Tasting Notes
An attractive, deep ruby red, the Chateau de Sales Pomerol has a highly complex nose which opens up with airing on notes of black berry fruit such as bilberry and blackberry. Fresh and well-balanced on the palate, it is full-bodied and displays attractively complex flavors, especially black fruit, with a touch of oak. A wine with good ageing potential, its well-integrated and silky tannins give it a remarkable finish.

82% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon. 2% Cabernet Franc
