1999 De Sales Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blend: 750ml
Elizabeth Becker, JJ Buckley, February 2010
Pronounced nose, with aromas of enriched earth, mushroom, dried fig and tobacco leaf. On the palate the wine shows a savory, earthy character up front, finishing with plum skin, dried orange peel --a nice lift that keeps the overall texture muscular but not dense. Tannins are soft and the acidity is lively. Classic wine showing it's tertiary character after ten years-evolved and earthy.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2002
Readers seeking a Burgundian-styled wine with gobs of black cherry fruit, an expansive, savory texture, sexy aromatics, and loads of glycerin and fruit should check out this medium-bodied, lush Pomerol. It should be drunk over the next decade. - Robert Parker
