2010 Pontet Canet Pauillac

This wine is Very intense colour. Very intense nose, marked by notes of cherry, blackberry and redcurrant with traces of vanilla, liquorice and cedar. The attack is full to the palate. The tannins of great smoothness reveal a fine elegance. The finish, with no trace of aggressiveness, is marked by a good length.
In a blind tasting of Pauillac 2010, 9 btls Grand Puy Lacoste, Mouton Rothschild, Clerc Milon, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Lynch Bages, Pontet Canet, Puchon Baron, Pichon Lalande. Obviously the walk away feeling is backward, classic bordeaux with massive tannins & acidity. God knows when we will hv the pleasure to drink it, if 1959 reminds us of being still young? I plan to leave them for my next generation. PC my #5 vote. Heavy nose, loads of sour cherries.
