Tenuta di Castelgiocondo is the celebrated estate owned by Marchesi de' Frescobaldi

A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc (only 37% of the crop qualified for Las Cases)

it can stand alongside top tier Bordeaux costing four or five times as much

It is difficult to know whether the 2005 Pontet-Canet will ultimately eclipse the hedonism and density of the flamboyant 2003

There's a light tug of warm cast iron and another wave of fruit after that, all supported by well buried chalky minerality. This is a very strong showing and has put on some weight since the barrel tasting. Best from 2020 through 2040. 6,665 cases made. JM Wine Spectator 95 points
