Community Tasting Note

  July 25, 2022 - 2 Hour Decant
  
  Classic nose of cassis, smoke, blueberry, darkish fruits, a bit restrained. More effeminate and polished than the powerful 09 Pontet Canet next to it and actually more reserved; good texture but holding back far more than the PC. Better balance and a striking finish.
