Description
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Pontet-Canet has an extremely pure, vivacious, perfumed bouquet with crushed violets infusing the blueberry and blackberry fruit. But it is all about the detail and precision in this wine. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth: lightly toasted black fruit, dried orange peel, cedar and a pinch of white pepper. This feels very cohesive and poised with just a touch of mint entering right on the finish. What a great wine from Alfred Tesseron and Jean-Michel Comme. Go grab the corkscrew now, but don't feel that this wine has to be opened for another 5-6 years. Tasted January 2016.

Tasting note
2006年的龐德格力是一款來自波爾多保雅克產區的傑出葡萄酒。這款酒擁有濃郁的顏色和強烈的果香，並帶有高礦物質含量。口感豐富且結構良好，單寧非常柔順，餘味悠長而美味。這款酒在新橡木桶、混凝土罐和一次使用的橡木桶中陳釀16至18個月，增加了其複雜性和深度。葡萄園經歷了一個充滿挑戰的生長季節，經歷了炎熱乾燥的天氣和一些風暴，但釀酒師的精心管理和熱情使這款酒達到了完美的平衡。非常適合搭配烤羊肉、燉牛肉、成熟的奶酪、烤鴨和蘑菇燴飯。
The 2006 Chateau Pontet-Canet is a remarkable wine from the Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux. This wine boasts an intense color and a strong nose dominated by fruity notes and a high mineral content. The palate is full-flavored and structured, with very smooth tannins and a long, savory finish. The wine is aged for 16 to 18 months in a combination of new oak barrels, concrete amphoras, and one-wine oak barrels, adding complexity and depth. The vineyard experienced a challenging growing season with hot, dry conditions and some storms, but the careful management and passion of the winemakers resulted in a beautifully balanced wine. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb, beef stew, mature cheeses, roast duck, and mushroom risotto.
