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."
