The 2019 La Pointe sports a deep garnet-purple color, offering scents of baked black cherries, boysenberries and stewed plums plus suggestions of spice cake, sandalwood, dried mulberries and unsmoked cigars. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with juicy black and blue fruit layers, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

The 2019 La Pointe is a pretty, juicy Pomerol. Cedar, tobacco, red fruit and licorice meld together in a mid-weight, fruity style offering quite a bit of immediacy and near-term potential. The 2019 is a soft, fruity and simple wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Attractive floral notes add brightness to this supple, mid-weight Pomerol as it shows off its inviting personality.

I loved the 2016 from this estate, and the 2019 Château La Pointe looks to be in the same mold (if not better), offering a pure, elegant ,medium-bodied style as well as terrific spiced red and black fruits, chocolate, and Christmas fruitcake-like aromas and flavors. It's going to drink nicely in its youth yet also evolve gracefully.

The 2019 La Pointe was tasted on three occasions including direct from the property, which is what I use for this tasting note. It has a very attractive nose, initially tightly coiled and demanding coaxing/aeration. It unfurls to reveal blackberry, briary and light shaved black truffle aromas - très Pomerol, perhaps due to increased contribution of Cabernet Franc (24%). The palate is medium-bodied with (and you can quote me on this) the finest tannins and silkiest texture that I have ever encountered from this property. Very fresh from start to finish, this feels cohesive and sophisticated, quite simply the best La Pointe ever. Bravo winemaker Eric Monneret.

Smoke, wet earth, licorice and black cherry scents create the nose. On the palate, the wine is plummy, polished and fresh with chocolate-covered plums in the finish. 90-92 Pts
