Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac 2002 Napa Valley smoky wood

smoky wood

medicinal aromas of inky black fruits

One sees generous old church window effect upon swirling the wine in the glass

Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac 2002 Napa Valley smoky woodBase of neck or better 93 CellarTracker An exhilarating nose of ripe blackberries, svelte with a refined texture and more relaxed in its own skin and without the restiveness of the 00 and 01 earlier in the flight. It also provided more enjoyment than its flight mates and like many 02 left banks is drinking beautifully right now. Worth seeking out if the price is right. 10 13 2025 93 CellarTracker From AustinTx1s cellar. This was a very good bottle.
