Chateau Pontet-Canet 5. Cru Classé Pauillac 2010

Dyb, mørk rubin farve, fyldt med brombær, sorte kirsebær, vanilje, tobak, espresso bønner, trøffel og våde jord aromaer. Vinen er afbalanceret, rig og moden. Der er ingen hårde kanter og alt er "på de rigtige steder". Vinen fylder munden, dækker hele paletten og den bare fortsætter med at udvide sig. Også i finishen.

Chateau Pontet-Canet Pauillac 2010 leverer en fantastisk smagsoplevelse og det er svært at sætte flasken væk - uden at tage endnu en slurk. 

Læg den i vinkælderen, giv den tid til at udvikles, blødgøres og der vil tilføjes endnu mere vægt og kompleksitet. 

Fantastisk vin som har høstet mange fine anmeldelser og poeng - her er nogle af dem:

100 Point Wine Advocate #205 - Feb 2013 

"An absolutely amazing wine, from grapes harvested between the end of September and October 17, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot has close to 15% natural alcohol. It comes from one of the few biodynamic vineyards in Bordeaux, but you are likely to see many more, given the success that Tesseron seems to be having at all levels, both in his vineyards and in his fermentation/winemaking. An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it's really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this. Unfortunately, it needs a good decade of cellaring, and that’s assuming it doesn’t close down over the next few years. This is a 50- to 75-year wine from one of the half-dozen or so most compulsive and obsessive proprietors in all of Bordeaux. Is there anything that proprietor Alfred Tesseron is not doing right? Talk about an estate that is on top of its game! Pontet-Canet’s 2010 is a more structured, tannic and restrained version of their most recent perfect wine, the 2009. Kudos to Pontet-Canet!"

"So young, but there is so much potential for greatness, you'd have to be blind to miss it! Layer after layer of rich, deep, ripe, plush, round, polished fruits, perfectly ripe tannins and a finish that does not want to quit. The wine is holding back more in reserve than with previous tastings and is probably going to shut down for a bit. When it opens again, this will be a stunner!"
