Critic Scores, Reviews & Descriptions

93-94 JS / 91-94 WS / 91- DE / 89-91 WA

This is a very solid La Pointe with tight and powerful tannins, backing up the ripe and dark fruit. Big, full and juicy.-James Suckling

Cassis and cherry preserve flavors are flanked by apple wood and anise notes, with a light sanguine hint on the finish. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

This is rather lovely, if a little sweet, and a little lighter than the 2016 at this property with floral notes and some extremely juicy ripe red fruits. There is no doubt that this estate has improved unquestionably over the past decade and here delivers another enjoyably juicy La Pointe, the concentration and balance just perhaps a little more impressive in the 2016 vintage. 25% of the vineyard has now been replanted at 8,500 vines per hectare, a significantly higher density than the previous 6,200v/ha.- Jane Anson, Decanter

Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 La Pointe has a deep garnet-purple color and quite a cedary nose to begin over a core of warm black cherries, blackberry pie and spice cake plus nuances of mossy bark, pencil shavings and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm, chewy texture and soft freshness enveloping the muscular, savory layers, finishing a little drying.-Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
