spicy and creamy yet light on its feet – everything that is so typical of Gruner Veltliner and loess

The crop is picked by hand

but a long-lived and complex wine

Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac 2014 Philippe Colin becoming more floral with aerationCrimson to the rim. Initially subdued but opens with aeration. Firm, minerally and upright with dark fruit notes and a dash of mint. Tannins compact and fresh. Really quite classic and Pauillac in style but the appealing fruit makes it approachable already. A pleasant surprise among the less celebrated years. Should be good value. Jancis Robinson (17)
