Tasting
The wine has a deep, glittering hue and a complex nose on which black fruit aromas mingle with graphite and spice notes.
The structure on the palate is particularly dense and long, with chiselled tannins of incredible precision.
A 2012 of remarkable purity and energy, with fantastic fruit and radiance that take it to the peak.
For the first time, Pontet-Canet matured nearly a third of the vintage in concrete amphorae.
