| | Qty=1Size=750 ml, RP[90]"Tasted at the Pontet-Canet vertical in London, the 2007 Château Pontet-Canet is a decent wine for the vintage, famously the vintage where Alfred Tesseron "blinked" and applied sprays to mitigate against grey rot in the middle of biodynamic conversion—a decision he has immediately rued. Still, the wine itself is ageing nicely. It has a nicely defined bouquet of blackberry, pine needles and tobacco, somehow conservative compared to other vintages. The palate displays lighter tannin than usual in keeping with the 2007s, perhaps a little dryness creeping in around the edges, but otherwise, there is a core of black earthy fruit and a pleasing if truncated, foursquare finish. I encountered better bottles three or four years ago, which makes me wonder whether this was a wine that was never destined for longevity? Tasted February 2016." - Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com (Jul 2016) |
