Vintage 2015 | lovely smell with a combination of cherries, minerality and a hint of raspberry. Fermented and aged in amphora. Juicy taste with high acidity, a real gastronomic wine. | Paired with chicken livers in port cream sauce. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2015 / No sulphites. No filtering. 3 months on amphora, 4 months on barrique. Mix of authentic grapes #nielluciu #sciaccarello #minustello #carcaghjolu #morescone that makes this #corsicanwine very enjoyable. Rich and refined. Pretty round. Some roses. Frivolous. I like it very much. — 7 years ago

This is the Unti Vineyard (Dry Creek Valley), still very dark color, leather, earth and Brett aromas and flavors, rich without showing much oak influence, medium-long finish, should reward more cellaring. — 9 years ago

Absolutely stunning. It's flavor reminds me of the most pleasant stone fruits and tart berries. It's texture fills the mouth and doesn't back off, yet is dry enough to cleanly finish. The aroma...now that is where it's at. Funky, sour, earthy, and super decadent. Love it — 9 years ago

Pontet Canet tasting and dinner with Alfred Tesseron.

2016 is such a beautifully, ripe and elegant vintage. The 16 stands tall from the other vintages we tasted.

The body is rich, bold and thick. Beautiful dark fruits of ripe, ruby; blackberries, plum, dark cherries, strawberries and amazing blue fruits shine as it sit on the palate. There is more balance in the 16...fruits and earth. Saddle-wood, tobacco, leather, dry soil, dry & moist clay, dry stone, rich dark earth, lead pencil, bright, fresh, red, blue, dark flowers with violets. Very nice acidity with a beautiful finish.

Don’t even touch a bottle for 15 plus years. This nice now but, you will only be cheating yourself out of a very special wine 15 plus years from now.

Photos of; Clyde and Alfred at the bar, their Amphora style cement tanks they ferment part of each vintage now, road signs of the good neighbors they keep and Chateau Pontet Canet. — 6 years ago
