That guess is actually more impressive given how Beaucastel has an aromatic, flavor, and textural profile that’s not exactly “down the middle of the plate” for CDP!

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

9.1

Pontet Canet tasting and dinner with Alfred Tesseron.

The fruits are dark & muted. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, blue fruits, plums with strawberries come on late. Lots of moist clay, dry soils, deep dark spice, crushed, rock powder, graphite, black, dry soils, hints of green bell pepper, dry herbs with blue, dark withering flowers. The acidity is round but could be better. The long finish is balanced but, for me, comes up short and a little flat.
