Pauillac, Bordeaux · Red · From vineyards of around 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

2008 was the year the first horses arrived at Pontet-Canet to plough the vineyards. It was a cooler, often overlooked vintage that the estate handled brilliantly. Tasting it alongside the 1995 and 2006 shows how one estate can change across thirteen years.

Fresh and vibrant, with dark berries, pencil shavings and a long, savoury finish.
