CHATEAU PONTET CANET 2001 |

Château Pontet Canet 2001 Pauillac, 5ème Cru Classéu. 2bn, scuffed labels, 1 of which nicked, 1 of which stained, and capsules, slightly sunken corksIn 2017, we gave it two hours of decanting time (not intentionally!) and it melted in the mouth. A wonderfully scented, wild herbs and sumac nose led to a lovely, ripe, mellow Pauillac taste, the absolute profile of Médocain Claret, while very much its own wine too.
