Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, France 2012 Rioja Red Blend ripe fruit flavors gives thisThis shows incredible decadence and opulence for the vintage with dried meat, black berry, blueberries and hints of mushroom. Full body, very polished silky tannins and a chewy finish. Lots of richness for the vintage. 93 Pts James Suckling
