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

2000 Château Pontet-Canet has a distinctly grilled toast, vanilla and espresso note on the nose. That exact nose carries through to the palate. Thankfully, the palate delivers some really pretty black currant and black cherry with amazing freshness. Overall, this is still a nice wine, but despite the ample fruit and acidity, the oak was too heavy and has not resolved. And I don't think it ever will. This was my last bottle and I could argue that drinking it sooner may have been advisable. #wine #winesofinstagram #vin #redwine #vinrouge #france #bordeaux #leftbank #rivegauche #pauillac #2000 #medoc #pontet-canet #chateaupontetcanet #grandcruclasse #tesseron https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD-Ps2noCJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19lu4h9w0auij
