A balanced red wine from Pomerol
Château de Sales is a producer located in the Pomerol appellation and whose vineyard covers 47.5 hectares. The 1998 vintage blend is 86% Merlot, 10.5% Cabernet Franc and 3.5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Château de Sales 1998 offers an intense and complex nose. On the palate, it is creamy, fleshy, fat and chewy. The wine is balanced with delicate tannins that round out over time. Best to consume now.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
After a period of mediocrity, this large Pomerol estate has begun to reassert its position as one of the better values in high quality wine from this tiny, bucolic appellation.
