Note di degustazione
A rather nice nose of red fruit and coffee/oak. Firm but with nice round tannin and a generous dollop of fruit.

I have always held up the 2010 La Pointe as one of the high points of recent vintages of this Pomerol estate. After five years in bottle, it has retained that quintessential Pomerol bouquet with black fruit laced with truffle and a touch of iron filings. The palate is still quite structured, although the tannins appear to have melted slightly since I last encountered it. It leads to an intense graphite finish that might lead you astray to the Left Bank, and the aftertaste remains long and satisfying. This is just a superb wine from Eric Monnoret that shows no signs of falling short of the promise that is has shown ever since I first tasted it in barrel. Tasted August 2017.
Cake, blackcurrants and softened tannins. Gentle structure, intense fruit. Modern and big. (RH)

Since insurance firm Generali purchased this estate in 2007, it has set out to overhaul the property and its reputation – starting with the vineyards – and the results speak for themselves.
