2006 Pontet Canet Pauillac

[andrawes76]

So I have been soaking up as much 2006 as possible since the 2007's are priced too high, and not as good as the 2006's. Way more approachable than 2005's.

Now I have been a big fan of Pontet Canet since 2000. The 2006 is blueish purple, with moderately soft tannins, but still enough to let you know its got some grip. Cassis, dark berry fruit, and insanely well balanced. This baby has some tremendous length in the palate. Good value at $55. Bought 2 cases as I am sure its got 25+ years on it...
