Denver Wine Group Bordeaux dinner. This took an hour or so to open up after decanting. Outshined by the '06 P-C, my WotN, which was softer, fuller and more balanced. The '11 was pleasant, with tobacco aromas and cassis.

Didn't expect too much for this underated vintage. Wine is sexy. Tanins are round and soft. Pauillac soul is there and the wine vibrates. Sexy and elegant, a characteristic of Pontet Canet? An extra point for the happy ending
Dark garnet red with translucence. Pretty sparkle. Aromas veer towards blackberry with some red jujubee sweetness too. Vanilla along with cedar and some forest funk. There is definitely an old world earthy minerality veering more towards rock and wood than soil. Finish has length but not overly dry. Medium-full bodied with soft, round feel.

Pretty closed and basic. Potential is there but not showing much of anything. Hold.

Dekantert. Stort behag fra første til siste glass. Både dag 1 og dag 2. Hakket før fløyel.
