1995 Chateau La Pointe
Lovely rich red appearance, deep red but with no bricking. Vigorous nose with lots of fruit leading the way. Neutral entry, hollow and initially lacking in flavour. The mid-palate has a balance of fruit and tannin but is really dominated in the end by the tannins. The finish is chewy but a little lean, led by woody licorice root and aniseed. This is still rather lean and needs at least another 5 years to flesh out. 86/100. Drunk 15-Apr-15.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
