Pontet Canet 2007

Deep ruby with a tight rim. A bold and ripe nose. Lots of cassis fruit. An admirable effort with a very structured, sweetish palate and juicy and spicy finish. Quite a lovely wine of authentic and modern Pauillac character- a full-bodied wine with a good, lengthy finish. Probably the right time to crack a bottle.

Good scores, such as:

Wow. Minerals, cedar, almost like warm stones in the heat. And then some spice. A wine that’s gorgeous, beautiful to taste now, but you know there’s so much more coming to it. Will be better in three to five years. But it’s already gorgeous—decant a couple hours in advance. (7/2012)

Slowly the potential of this impressive wine is coming out. It is rich, the new wood flavors blending with the ripe blackberry sweetness and tight tannins. Chocolate flavor power through this concentrated wine. *Top 100 Wines of 2010. Editor's Choice* (RV) (4/2010)
