Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac 2014 Philippe Colin cherry and blackberry fruit marry

cherry and blackberry fruit marry well with the pure vein of acidity that runs throughout

like for the Burgundy

becoming more floral with aeration

but a long-lived and complex wine

Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac 2014 Philippe Colin cherry and blackberry fruit marryCrimson to the rim. Initially subdued but opens with aeration. Firm, minerally and upright with dark fruit notes and a dash of mint. Tannins compact and fresh. Really quite classic and Pauillac in style but the appealing fruit makes it approachable already. A pleasant surprise among the less celebrated years. Should be good value. Jancis Robinson (17)
