Chateau Pontet-Canet Pauillac, France 2008 Donnachadh 17 months in 20% newRich, full bodied, deep, intense and loaded to the brim with crme de cassis, tobacco, smoke, wet forest floor and cherry pipe tobacco elements, the wine is mouth filling, tannic, long, deep and complex. Everything about this is just great. But patience is going to be needed, as this will probably not hit its peak for at least another 5 8 years. 96 Points Wine Cellar Insider
