Flavors of poached cranberries and red plums

So much floral and dark-fruit character with almonds and walnut shell

wild slate aromas and a finesse of acidity

a fine thread of acidity and a round

Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, France 2009 Vinedos Alonso del Yerro Flavors of poached cranberries andDeep garnet in color, the 2009 Pontet Canet slips sensuously from the glass with opulent scents of crme de cassis, baked plums and Black Forest cake plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri, oolong tea and menthol. Full bodied, rich, spicy and oh so decadent in the mouth, it has a fantastically velvety frame and seamless freshness, finishing very long. 100 Pts Wine Advocate
