2018 CHÂTEAU LA POINTE (SUBSKRIPTION)

James Suckling: 93-94/100 Punkte 
»This is a very solid La Pointe with tight and powerful tannins, backing up the ripe and dark fruit. Big, full and juicy.«

Falstaff: 92/100 Punkte
»Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Gewürznelkennote, etwas Nougat, reife Kirschen unterlegt, tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, dunkle Beerenfrucht, extraktsüßer Kern, reife Tannine, schokoladiger Nachhall, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter.«

Wine Spectator 91-94/100 Punkte
»Cassis and cherry preserve flavors are flanked by apple wood and anise notes, with a light sanguine hint on the finish.«

Decanter: 91/100 Punkte
»This is rather lovely, if a little sweet, and a little lighter than the 2016 at this property with floral notes and some extremely juicy ripe red fruits. There is no doubt that this estate has improved unquestionably over the past decade and here delivers another enjoyably juicy La Pointe, the concentration and balance just perhaps a little more impressive in the 2016 vintage. 25% of the vineyard has now been replanted at 8,500 vines per hectare, a significantly higher density than the previous 6,200v/ha. Drinking Window 2025 - 2036«

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 89-91/100 Punkte
»Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 La Pointe has a deep garnet-purple color and quite a cedary nose to begin over a core of warm black cherries, blackberry pie and spice cake plus nuances of mossy bark, pencil shavings and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, chewy texture and soft freshness enveloping the muscular, savory layers, finishing a little drying.«
