Chateau De Sales 1982

Pomerol produces some of the sexiest wines in all of Bordeaux. Chateau de Sales is the largest vineyard in Pomerol, the wines described by Robert Parker as "... prized for their sheer, supple, glossy, round, generous, ripe fruitiness and lush, silky personalities. De Sales has always made good wine, but the recent vintages have been particularly strong." Writing about the 1982 de Sales in December 1995, Robert Parker said: "This wine has lasted far longer than I would have guessed. It has always been a tasty, mocha, root beer, and cherry-scented and flavored wine with medium body, a silky texture, and good fruit and flesh. It has taken on considerable amber at the edge and is just beginning to turn the corner and dry out. Drink it up. Tasted 13 times since bottling with consistent notes."
