  Deep, dark garnet, almost opaque in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries & red plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes of violets, spices, herbs, tobacco, cocoa & a hint of oak/vanilla in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, plush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, mulberries & cassis with spices, herbs, minerals, cocoa & a touch of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging. An indicative blend of 74% Merlot & 26% Cabernet Franc. A wonderful Pomerol!

  Soft, generous, voluptuous and supper tasty! I predict, this soundly build Pomerol will transform into dusty, elegant classic and will age effortlessly for 2 decades or more. Can you say lovely?

  I don’t usually do Bordeaux this early but what a great pomerol, really well balanced at this point, wish my benefactor was gonna age his at least 8 more years, this wine has great potential for elegance. Guess we will never know.

  Roses, violets, flowers and spicy kirsch notes pop in the perfume. As good as the nose is, on the palate, the wine is even better with its silky, sensuous approach. The perfectly ripe, plums and cherries offer a depth of flavor, opulent textures and a richness to the finish, along with freshness, that holds your attention making you want to take another sip. This is the best vintage of La Pointe I have ever tasted. Drink from 2024-2050.

  UGCB tasting Bordeaux 2020 Walkaround tasting so in general just short notes (Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.): Red and dark berries, some bell pepper, beautiful acidity and round but firm tannin. Full bodied and yet elegant wine. Will improve with 8 - 10+ years of ageing. 92 - 93
