CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET 2001 BORDEAUX / LEFT BANK / PAUILLAC

VINOUS
90 / 100

Good red-ruby color. Sexy, highly aromatic nose combines black raspberry, licorice, mint, minerals and flowers. Classy, bright Pauillac, with suave dark berry and mineral flavors nicely shaped by firm acidity. Offers early sex appeal but has the structure for a long life in bottle. Finishes with ripe, spreading tannins and excellent grip and length.

Focused, with a still-juicy edge to the mix of black currant and black cherry compote flavors, which are giving way steadily to mouthwatering tobacco and iron notes and refined singed cedar threads through the finish. Textbook Pauillac.—Blind '01/'03/'05 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2017). Drink now through 2025.
