Pontet Canet tasting and dinner with Alfred Tesseron.

The 13 was a brutal tannin vintage when I tasted it at En Premier. The tannins are still bitty but, nothing like they were out of barrel.

The fruit in the 13 shows the difficulty in the vintage. They are duller and it’s really stands out from other vintages and not in a good way.

It’s lean and there is nothing that really draws you in. Fruits are; dark cherries, rhubarb, blackberries, some blueberries@and the strawberries show some ripeness the other do not. Lots of dry earth, dry stones, some herbs, dark withering florals, decent acidity and a uneventful dry finish.

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. — 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

Light straw in color with a golden hue.

Strong nose of yellow apples, spices, minerals, lemons, earth, orange peel, herbs and overripe citrus fruits.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with over ripened apples, citrus, cream, spices, light vegetables, light peaches, herbs, earth, limes and black pepper.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy limes.

This is Is a very interesting white blend from Portugal. Although crisp, it has a light buttery feel. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Better when not too cold, and after 20 minutes of airtime.

This is not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it.

Paired wonderfully with a Mediterranean dish of baked eggplant drizzled with Tahini.

A blend of 40% Antao Vaz, 20% Perrum, 20% Rabo de Ovelha and 20% Manteudo. Grapes are fermented and aged in amphora clay vessels with indigenous yeast.
A small production of only 4,000 bottles. Organic and vegan.

12% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

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. — 8 years ago

Actually 100% Nero in this vintage, only 11% ABV. Amphora aged, actually prefer this bottling to the non-Amphora Nero. Mainly black fruited, a little chalky. Very smooth and easy drinking. Great with pizza. — 4 years ago
