De Sales Pomerol, 2006

De Sales Pomerol 2006 is a classic Right Bank Bordeaux from one of Pomerol’s most established estates, offering the rounded, supple style the appellation is known for. With its mature vintage character and the pedigree of a historic property, it is an appealing choice for drinkers seeking a refined, cellar-aged red from Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it would be expected to show a deep garnet core with softened ruby edges, reflecting its age. The bouquet typically leans toward ripe dark plum, black cherry, cedar, dried herbs, tobacco, and earthy truffle notes, with the oak integration now likely fully settled. On the palate, Pomerol’s trademark Merlot-driven generosity usually brings a smooth, velvety texture, supple tannins, and layered flavors of dark fruit, leather, and spice. The 2006 vintage should now be in a mature drinking window, though well-stored bottles may still hold a few more years of graceful development.

Food & Serving
