Note di degustazione
Spicy and quite savoury on the palate. very natural with soft earthy notes alongside bramble fruit. Sweet-fruited palate with an open texture then tighter towards the end. An elegant style from this chateau. FINE+RARE

The 2012 Pontet-Contet is fleshy and more Right Bank in style than its peers with pure red fruit, leather and light sous-bois notes. The palate is medium-bodied with a bitter entry, plenty of bell pepper notes that feel just a little green towards the finish. This is the second time that I have tasted this Pontet-Canet blind, and I just don't find it successful compared to other vintages. Tasted blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
Tasted blind. Smudgy, evolved rim. Verging on oxidised. Sweet start. But lacks freshness. Drink up! (JR)
