Pop and pour. It's been a year since my last bottle. It is already very open from the beginning, full of floral and fruity aromas. Medium to full bodied, elegant, charming, mature and juicy.

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.

Blew me out of the water. Classic pomerol flavor , lovely tannins, got better in the glass. Would drink again. With girlfriend at Match in NYC.
