Rating: 3.0/5
This 2012 Château de Sales Pomerol presents a deep ruby colour with a clear appearance. The nose is inviting, offering a medium intensity of blackberry, leather and cedar aromas, with hints of earth developing further. On the palate, the wine feels smooth, delivering a dry sweetness, medium body and tannin, along with a rich, medium finish, and a balanced acidity that allows the flavours to unfold.
