2007 Ch Pontet-Canet



A fifth growth playing the role of a super second. Bio-dynamic and with a horse working the vineyard that just so happens to be in the right spot near the driveway for visitors to notice it. Maybe that’s a little pessimistic.

Earthy aromas, and hints of graphite overlay  gentle red fruits on the nose although I may be noticing a touch of brett. A mix of dark and red fruits make up the palate with lovely elements of chocolate and mocha oak adding power and that sense of Paulliac. The tannins are firm and acidity fresh, leaving for a balanced wine. 91 points.
