Vintage 2001 | classic powerhouse, vanilla, cedar, great balance, nice acidity, a dream!

Opened briefly - then closed down hard. Some clovey Brett nuances over a ripe plum-and-cassis nose. Still somewhat primary but no noticeable oak taint. Needs a decade to come around

My favorite baby Pauillac as I like to call them for some reason...classic notes of the land.

Pleasantly tart plummy aromas but unripe acidic plum flavors. This is gonna be a great bottle of wine...in 15 years. Just not there yet.

Mature with some elegance, a great vintage for Pontet Canet maybe over shadowed by some other vintages such as 2000 and 2005- but a wine definitely worth it - ripe and pure, a success with a cote de boeuf 😋

Textboox Bordeaux, toujours la meme constance avec PC. Café, cuir animal, graphite, une touche végétale. Belle longueur en bouche et en finale.
