Château La Pointe - Pomerol 2007

A good effort from this normally under-achieving estate, the 2007 La Pointe exhibits aromas of plum sauce, black cherries, coffee, and herbs in its medium-bodied, round, lush personality. Enjoy this attractive Pomerol over the next 5-7 years.... Drink 2010-2017

Aromas of sweet berry, licorice and flowers lead to a full body, with round, soft tannins and a fruity finish. Slightly one-dimensional. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2011.

Lightly perfumed and easy on the palate. Not a great amount of depth but still achieves some elegance and fine balance. Drink 2011-17

Château la Pointe. Un vin plus en élégance qu'en puissance. Nez intense et épanoui ; bouche tendre, joliment fruitée et finement tannique.

Dunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase sehr reife dunkle Beerenfrucht, etwas Zwetschkenröster, dunkle Schokolade. Am Gaumen komplex, etwas überkonzentriert, daher eher harte Tannine, dunkelwürzig im Finale, mineralischer Nachhall, süße Dörrobstnote im Abgang, salziges Finish, attraktiver Gesamtstil.

Boisé, bouche puissante, veloutée, un peu séchante en finale, assez extraite, merlot mûr.

This has a decent Pomerol nose – pure, not over-extracted, good delineation with simple aromas of black cherries, strawberry and a touch of cassis. The palate is medium-bodied, good balance and acidity with a very attractive, floral finish. Very elegant. Much better than expected. Bravo! Tasted April 2008.

Round, meaty nose. Succulent fruit. Surely Pomerol [tasted blind in a mix of Pomerol and St-Émilion]? Fully ripe and relaxed and a nice easy drink for the early to mid term. Lovely balance and juice.
