“The 2002 Pontet Canet precedes the conversion to organic viticulture, though Alfred Tesseron had already eschewed the use of pesticides and herbicides. It has a slightly rustic nose, a touch of menthol and soot infusing the black fruit, still quite youthful. The palate is bold, firm and surprisingly sweet with black plum, liquorice and cedar.” – Antonio Galloni 90 Points
