Very enjoyable Pomerol. Elegant and predominantly red-fruited, the La Pointe is rich but never fat. Good length and still with upside. Recommended and (given Pomerol standards) with good QPR.

Pleasantly surprised by this. I was introduced to this wine with the '10 vintage at UGC back in the day and it impressed me so I've bought a few in the odd vintage. While the '14 was quite restrained and a bit lacking this one was very open and enticing. I was particularly surprised by oodles of sweet fruit. Quite classy and delicious. Glad I've a couple more. Held up well on the 2nd night; feels like one to seek out. The sweet fruit was so concentrated and striking.

Part of a Merlot night with my wine group at a Turkish Restaurant. This went really well with the Lamb Shank. Out of the 8 of us, most of us had this as their favorite.

Uncork the bottle 1 hour in advance. Medium bodied, elegant and charming aroma. Lovely acidity, delicious and juicy.
