Château Pontet Canet 2009

Pauillac, 5ème Cru Classé

Original tissues

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, with the remainder Merlot. Owner Alfred Tesseron said that the raw material was so good this year that a winemaker needed to do minimum work. Wonderfully intense nose, so rich, so berryish, so 'black'. Huge tannins but perfectly balanced with the fruit and acidity. Beautiful structure and very long. In 2013, a great cedary nose with fabulous juicy fruit all through. A monument. Stunning wine.
