Chateau Pontet Canet 2015 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The 2015 Pontet Canet was tasted on two occasions around two weeks apart and I noticed a superior showing the second time around. This year is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot that was picked from 18 September apropos the Merlot and from 28 September for the Cabernet, finishing on 3 October. It is matured in 50% new oak, 35% concrete and 15% one year old barrels. It has a pure and perfumed bouquet

black raspberries

fish and cooked meats

Praline and dried herbs give way to floral notes

This too is indisputably going to require extended patience

Nuanced and structured whites are dry

currants and cherry abound on the nose

All red meat dishes served with sauce or grilled

and I stress might

tilled soil

Merlot 24%
