2011 Château Pontet-Canet

Im perfekten Gleichgewicht

Saftiger, eleganter Gaumen, samtig weiche, aber doch präsente Tannine, royaler Körper mit traumhafter Länge. Eindeutig einer der besten Pauillac dieses Jahrgangs - Bio at it´s best!

James Suckling: 95 Punkte"A wine with lots of ripe berries, verging on dried fruits. Full and chewy with ripe, round, chewy tannins. It needs lots of bottle age. A wine of steel. From biodynamically grown grapes, as always. Better than from barrel. Try in 2018."

Robert Parker: 93+ Punkte"Proprietor Alfred Tesseron-s 2011 Pontet-Canet is packaged in an engraved, heavy bottle, which only adds to the attractiveness of this beauty. A dense purple color is accompanied by notes of forest floor, acacia flowers and creme de cassis in this full, rich, and unequivocally classic Pauillac. With soft but noticeable tannins as well as a complete, full-bodied mouthfeel, this 2011 will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for 15-20 years. Bravo!"

Wine Spectator: 92 Punkte"This cuts a broad swath, with prominent notes of espresso and ganache leading to the core of crushed plum and blackberry confiture. Lush, with the ganache edge joining a loamy hint to underscore the finish. Consistent with the barrel tasting, this shows more breadth than cut in the end."Trinkreife: von 2016 bis 2026

Decanter: 18 Punkte"Wild violets and black fruit nose, both exuberant and classic. It is a wonderfully elegant Pauillac with superb vineyard expression."Trinkreife: von 2016 bis 2035
