2012 Chateau Pontet-Canet 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac [Future Arrival]

Pro Reviews

Wine Advocate (WA)

This impeccably run, biodynamically farmed estate of Alfred Tesseron goes from strength to strength. The 2012 triumphs once again with its notes of dark plum, blackcurrant, licorice and almost a hint of truffle, its full-bodied, supple tannins, and beautiful, expensive mouthfeel. Complex and deep, this dense ruby/purple-colored wine may not be at the level of the 2009 or 2010, but it is a successful wine in this vintage, and a significant wine in 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035. – Robert M. Parker, Jr. – 30-04-2015
