Nose: hand crushed wild blackberries. So fresh and intense. Sexy licorice. As this opens it just smells like money. So dense. So intense. Vosne romanee like. Daaaaaamn. Psychotic.

Palate: so direct. Perfect wild blackberry licorice. Intense juice. Deeeeelish. Elegant spice.

A fucking crazy wine. Up with the greats of burgundy but it’s own style. Singular. Magical. I’m in love.

A psychedelic dream of Pinot noir. Timothy Leary.

When I tasted the 2018 Pontet-Canet in barrel I described it as a "freak of nature." The 2018 is more than that, it is a freak of nature. Made from yields of just ten hectoliters per hectare, the 2018 possesses off the charts richness, phenomenal balance and head-spinning intensity. Crushed red berries, flowers, mint, cedar and rose petal saturate the palate in a Pauillac of breath-taking richness. The silkiest of tannins frame the phenomenally pure, long finish. This is a towering achievement from the Tesseron family and former Technical Director Jean-Michel Comme, who together spearheaded biodynamic farming in Bordeaux and built the present-day estate around a philosophy of non-interventionalist winemaking. In 2018, grapes were crushed solely by hand. Because of the tiny yields, the entire production was vinified in Pontet-Canet's new smaller concrete vats. All winemaking was done manually, without the aid of external temperature control or electricity. Put in another way, if Lalou Bize-Leroy made Bordeaux, it would taste like this.
