2012 Chateau Pontet Canet, PauillacWinemaker Notes The wine has a deep, glittering hue and a complex nose on which black fruit aromas mingle with graphite and spice notes. The structure on the palate is particularly dense and long, with chiselled tannins of incredible precision. A 2012 of remarkable purity and energy, with fantastic fruit and radiance that take it to the peak. For the first time, Pontet Canet matured nearly a third of the vintage in concrete amphoras.
