TN:1982 Château La Pointe

1982 Château La Pointe -Definitely for those who like their Bordeaux completely softened and mature. Surprisingly dark core of color, but with some bricking around the rim. Nose of coffee, leather, menthol, damp earth and a little horse hair. Nice texture on the attack with soft supple tannins - a little bite of camphor and leather on the finish. Still has a good 45 second plus finish. Not a gangbuster, but a nice old claret.
