Pontet-Canet 1998

A transitional vintage that captures Pontet-Canet before its biodynamic transformation. Initially reticent on the nose, but patience reveals classic blackberry and cedar aromatics with briary undertones. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and crisp acidity that keeps the mint-laced dark fruit lively through a pleasantly spiced finish. Shows the estate's inherent quality even in this pre-revolution era.
