2016 Château La Pointe

Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Saturday, September 19, 2020 - A whiff of serious fruit. First taste is oak and menthol. Fruit is deep but hindered by tannins. I was not expecting this given the professional reviews - not at all drinkable in September 2020. Aeration does nothing due to the oak. Tannins may round in time however the oak?
