Château La Pointe
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Saturday afternoon and the wine I have chosen is the 2016 Château La Pointe. A right bank Bordeaux from Pomerol that is a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc.
On the nose there is black cherry, raspberry, ripe plum, black currant, cocoa, sweet tobacco, cola syrup and gravel.
On the palate there is black cherry, raspberry, plum, bell pepper, black currant, white pepper and gravel.
This is a full bodied wine with a velvety mouthfeel, medium + acidity and fine sandy tannins that moves very well to a long dark fruit gavel finish. A wonderful wine for a winderful weekend. I hope everyone is still well, healthy and safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Time for some #MerlotThursday.
This is a very young,
yet approachable, Right Bank Bordeaux with a soft and elegant mouthfeel.
Dry and fruity on the palate with wood, vanilla, earth, spices, leather, tobacco, milk chocolates, black pepper, vegetables, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Long finish with grippy tannins and tangy cranberries.
Already delicious and will age nicely in the next 15 years. Needs 3 hours to open up properly.
A blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$60.

Dark purple color. Big aromas of juicy black fruits and sweet spice notes. Palate displays ripe fruit blackberries, cherries and raspberry with vanilla spice, floral and bits of leather. Big round tannins, combined with some mineral notes on the long rich finish. Very nice offering. Elegant.

Nice Pomerol. Still a bit young but could be destined for great things. Decent price point.

Fantastic flavor, full of red fruit but the most interesting thing about it is that after decanting it for almost two hours, the wine kept getting better and better in the glass, the tannins were elegant and the nose had very upfront fruit.
