This bottle is so elegant with all its elements in balance. Black currants, pepper, rich earthy spice, fruit and a little mustiness. Beautiful now; seems a sure bet for another 10 years or more.

Special juice here. Biodynamic farming in a tough vintage but man, does this deliver.
Deep core, hardly any bricking.
Powerful aromatics of oak spice, bell pepper, and cassis. Bit of earth under the long, red fruited palate exposing red currant and raspberries with graphite, jalapeño, and black licorice. Showing best with an hour plus of air. Currently at peak.

Tasted as a barrel sample, 2007 Château Pontet-Canet, this wine was really pretty and refined. As the years have gone on, I have found many Bordeaux from this supposedly "lighter" vintage to have plenty of stuffing. Ch Ponet-Canet is one the world's top wineries. #wine #bordeaux #pauillac #medoc

What a finish. So much strength at the end with a flavorful end. Super fun to try.

Capa y densidad alta, potente en nariz, cola, madera de entrada, fruta negra. En boca entrada sedosa, paso elegante y fino, final largo y muy agradable. El mejor de la tarde

An off vintage that knows how to seduce and please easily, very round and friendly - a nice wine

The balance and freshness in this is insane. 2007s are not a vintage of Bordeaux that I typically like, at all. This was better than a good lot of the wines at #burdigalanyc of better vintages. #biodynamics #beleivethehype with this Chateau.
