drink-now2003 Ch. Pontet-Canet, Pauillac

Why so fresh? Partly organic this year. He thinks that having worked the vineyards, this encouraged the roots to go down deep. Again, deep crimson. Quite full and ripe and rich on the nose - different from the rest. Succulent and juicy with sufficient freshness. Just a very slightly burnt note on the nose. A bit chewy on the finish. Sweet and flattering.
