Chateau La Pointe 1996 in Pomerol, Bordeaux is pale with garnet streaks, on the nose it beacons you in with red and black fruits, sweet spice and cigar box aromas, it is complex and multifaceted. On the palate it is all that you would expect, black fruit dominates followed by sweet spices, smokey tobacco and a little in the way of dried fruit, the length is long with a sweet black fruit finish. Good acidity, alcohol enrobing and good ripe, savoury, tasty tannins make this superbly structured wine a delight, it has a predominance of merlot ( Merlot, 75% in fact, with 10% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon )and this gives it a rich fleshiness which coats the mouth leaving you wanting more! Coming it at £40'ish - this elegant wine seems a steal.
