Pontet-Canet 1995

The 1995 shows Pontet-Canet's pre-biodynamic character with serious backbone and classic Left Bank austerity. Dense blackcurrant and bitter cherry aromatics carry a medicinal edge that speaks to the wine's formidable structure. Fuller and more supple than the austere '94, yet still remarkably backward with prominent oak on the finish. This is built for the long haul and demands patience.
