Château Pontet-Canet 2011
Pauillac 5me Cru Classé
(lightly corroded capsule)

1 imperial
"Lucid purple in color, the bouquet leaps from the glass and yells 'Pauillac' - thanks to its graphite seam interwoven through the black fruit. Over ten minutes, tobacco scents join the fray and it develops what you might call "mint fresh" aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied and remains understated on the entry, perhaps exaggerated by the exuberance of the nose. However, there is no question that this is a refined, pure and seamless Pontet-Canet with crème de cassis and cedar inter-layered on the sustained finish. Bon vin."
