2009 Chateau Pontet Canet
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Pontet-Canet is a little shut down to begin, but with coaxing this baby is soon firing on all cylinders with a full-throttle nose of chocolate-covered cherries, crème de cassis, boysenberries and spice cake plus tons of kirsch and cranberry sauce sparks and a beautiful undercurrent of emerging tertiary characters: cigar box, sandalwood, chargrill, truffles and cast iron pan. Full-bodied, rich, multilayered and completely seductive, the palate is charged with incredible energy, with a firm backbone of velvety tannins and seamless freshness providing solid grounding and promising a very long life ahead. It finishes with an incredible display of epically long-lasting flavor fireworks. Wow!
2009 Chateau Pontet Canet
呢支2009年Chateau Pontet-Canet係波爾多左岸嘅明星，酒莊喺Pauillac高地，隔籬就係Mouton Rothschild。莊主Alfred Tesseron堅持生物動力法種植，產量超低，喺Bordeaux好少見。酒色深黑如夜，聞落有黑加侖子、石墨、煙燻同紫羅蘭香。入口好飽滿，單寧細滑但好有力量，酸度明亮，整體平衡到不得了。2009年係個傳奇年份，呢支酒潛力極大，放多十幾年都冇問題，而家開瓶就感受到嗰種純淨同複雜性，真係令人驚艷。
An amazing wine in every sense, this classic, full-bodied Pauillac is the quintessential Pontet Canet from proprietor Alfred Tesseron, who continues to reduce yields and farms his vineyards biodynamically – a rarity in Bordeaux. Black as a moonless night, the 2009 Pontet Canet offers up notes of incense, graphite, smoke, licorice, creme de cassis and blackberries. A wine of irrefutable purity, laser-like precision, colossal weight and richness, and sensational freshness, this is a tour de force in winemaking that is capable of lasting 50 or more years. The tannins are elevated, but they are sweet and beautifully integrated as are the acidity, wood and alcohol (which must be in excess of 14%). This vineyard, which is situated on the high plateau of Pauillac adjacent to Mouton Rothschild, appears to have done everything perfectly in 2009. This cuvee should shut down in the cellar and re-open in a decade or more. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2075.
