2003 Château Pontet-Canet is a much better wine than its vintage 2000 sibling. What the winemakers got wrong in 2000 was fixed in this 2003. No oak detectable in any way, shape or form. Cassis, ink, bacon fat and lead pencil on the nose. Beautiful, ripe currant, leather and eucalyptus on the palate. Finish for days and will age for decades longer. Phenomenal effort that has tons of balance and acidity despite being from a scorcher of a vintage. Stunning. #winesofinstagram #wine #vin #redwine #vinrouge #france #bordeaux #leftbank #rivegauche #pauillac #pontetcanet #pontet-canet #2003 #cabernetsauvignon #merlot #cabernetfranc #petitverdot https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqa8pLuHve1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3fldcd64haxx
