Tasted blind. Savoury, almost oily, note on the nose. Then very broad, sweet and opulent on the palate with a note of dill. Not quite harmonious – yet? – but with a dramatic set of ingredients ready to gel. Leathery finish. (JR)
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Blackish garnet. Very ripe, almost agricultural nose. And some sandpaper tannin on the end – is this an amphora effect? Certainly very distinctive! By no means unpleasant; just very different from the norm. Marked tannin. (JR)
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Harvest 24 September to 5 October. Two-thirds of the crop was lost to mildew. A sort of essence of Pontet-Canet – what you imagine a special cuvée would be. Deep, purple-black colour to the rim. Dense and intense on the nose with a bit of reduction at first but gradually opens to cassis and black olive. Lots of dry extract, the tannins firm, dense and powerful. A bit too much of everything but should age. (JL)
