Rich and dense on the nose, the aromas here suggest a flamboyantripeness and a rich, punchy berry-laden palate to follow. The palate doesnot disappoint – rich, concentrated – this makes a bold statementthough finely-balanced. There is a pleasing freshness to the fruit, whichshows Cabernet clearly in the ascendancy with creamy coated, sweetcassis and blackberry, with notes of smoky mocha and vanillia too. Afirm yet fine tannic grip holds this volume in check, it is however anundeniably big and chewy wine. This is certainly assured of a brightfuture. Some may argue that this is the style of high scores, but no tastercould deny that this is a very serious effort in terms of both stature andquality. Indeed the quality gained is surely ample reward for the effortsof Monsieur Tesseron’s team at the resurgent Pontet-Canet.
