Tasting notes
A good effort from this normally under-achieving estate, the 2007 La Pointe exhibits aromas of plum sauce, black cherries, coffee, and herbs in its medium-bodied, round, lush personality. Enjoy this attractive Pomerol over the next 5-7 years.

Lightly perfumed and easy on the palate. Not a great amount of depth but still achieves some elegance and fine balance. (JH)
Round, meaty nose. Succulent fruit. Surely Pomerol [tasted blind in a mix of Pomerol and St-Émilion]? Fully ripe and relaxed and a nice easy drink for the early to mid term. Lovely balance and juice. (JR)
Aromas of sweet berry, licorice and flowers lead to a full body, with round, soft tannins and a fruity finish. Slightly one-dimensional. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2011. 8,335 cases made.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010
