Tasting notes
The 2015 La Pointe is an attractive, juicy Pomerol to drink now and over the next handful of years. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, licorice, menthol and tobacco build as this fleshy, succulent Pomerol shows off its racy personality. The 2015 has turned out beautifully. There is certainly plenty to like.

Smudgy mid crimson. Peppery/dusty dark fruit. Dry and cedary on the palate but surprisingly juicy on the finish. Slightly abrupt finish but lots of smooth pleasure already. (JH)
Mid crimson. Rich and sweet. Some dried-fruit character – a bit like currant wine! Drying finish. (JR)
