Note di degustazione
The 2002 Pontet Canet precedes the conversion to organic viticulture, though Alfred Tesseron had already eschewed the use of pesticides and herbicides. It has a slightly rustic nose, a touch of menthol and soot infusing the black fruit, still quite youthful. The palate is bold, firm and surprisingly sweet with black plum, liquorice and cedar. Not a million miles away from its next-door neighbour actually (Mouton-Rothschild). Just a little shortness on the finish, but otherwise this Pontet Canet is maturing well given the growing season. Tasted at the château.

Mid crimson. Very light nose. Solid and very earthbound with some really earthy flavours. Lots of acidity on the finish. Stolid. (JR)
Quite dark crimson. Rather thick and soupy on the nose. With some very slight greenness. Harsh acidity and rugged tannins. Still pretty unsettled. Drying tannins on the finish. (JR)
