Pontet Canet tasting and dinner with Alfred Tesseron.
The 96 is a nice surprise add from Clyde’s cellar. Thank you Clyde.
This 96 is beautifully floral. The evolution is right around its peak. The body is medium full and the tannins soft. It’s an elegant beauty.
The fruits are ripe and delicious. Leaner blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries and shades of raspberries. Soft earth; dry top soil, dry rock, limestone minerals, old tobacco, soft leather, cedar with dry and withering red & dark florals. The acidity is like a waterfall. The long finish is well balanced fruit & earth and in a sweet spot.

Paradis Imperial cognac. At Moet Hennessy boutique apartment in Paris. Medium golden hue. On the nose, pencil shavings and old wood, white pepper, savoury. Some vanilla essence and raisin. Nutty. Very complex. On the palate, calm and integrated alcohol, huge elegance and refinement, not too fruity, big concentration and extremely long finish. Superb. — 9 years ago
