Château Pontet-Canet 2007

Wow. Minerals, cedar, almost like warm stones in the heat. And then some spice. A wine that’s gorgeous, beautiful to taste now, but you know there’s so much more coming to it. Will be better in three to five years. But it’s already gorgeous – decant a couple hours in advance. Score – 95. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, April 9, 2012)
