Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, France 2009 Vina Lomas De Llahuen This is 2005 and likeDeep garnet in color, the 2009 Pontet Canet slips sensuously from the glass with opulent scents of crme de cassis, baked plums and Black Forest cake plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri, oolong tea and menthol. Full bodied, rich, spicy and oh so decadent in the mouth, it has a fantastically velvety frame and seamless freshness, finishing very long. 100 Pts Wine Advocate
