The 2015 Pontet-Canet is coming along beautifully after some time in the cellar. It is now displaying wonderful aromas of dark plums and dark cherries followed by tobacco, charcoal, spices, leather and wet stones which burst from the glass. This full-bodied Pauillac possesses a gorgeous texture and fantastic balance with lovely underling acidity adding freshness as it heads into the long finish. Flavors of dark berries, dusty leather, spices and hints of charcoal notes leave a lasting impression. While this seems to be in somewhat of a transitional phase, it is still nonetheless a fantastic wine to approach now, or continue to cellar.

The 2015 Château Pontet-Canet is yet another success from this estate. This gorgeous blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot begins with inviting aromatics of dark red cherries and blackberries which are laced with spring flowers, graphite, tobacco and spicy nuances all soaring from the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied, layerd and beautifully structured with a lovely opulent texture and remarkable overall balance. While this is already showing a ton of early appeal, it also possesses all the signs for a long, graceful evolution ahead.
