Chateau La Pointe
-- Internet: -- NM: This has a pure, understated, well-defined nose that demonstrates far more breeding than in previous years, partly thanks to the brand new cellar that I witnessed being installed myself last September. It has very pure macerated black cherries, blueberry, cassis and a touch of fresh dates, good lift and growing all the time in the glass. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins, good grip, very well focused and lovely poise. There is a slight masculinity to this wine, a firmness of structure and backbone that has perhaps been missing in recent vintages. It could do with a little more flesh just on the saline finish, but otherwise, this is a big step in the right direction for this Pomerol stalwart. 92-94/100 -- WW: Tiefes Purpur. Ziemlich wuchtig im Ansatz, rote Kirschen, etwas Cassis und feine Vanillenoten. Fülliger, cremiger Gaumen, reife Frucht, etwas Amarena im Nachklang. Top-Niveau! 18/20
