*** 93 points - Wine Journal ***
The 80-hectare vineyard of Chateau Pontet-Canet, a prestigious classified growth, encompasses the finest terrain of all the estates situated in Pauillac-Bordeaux's famed sub-region located on the west side of Medoc. Thanks to scrupulous viticulture and vinification regulations, the wines of Chateau Pontet-Canet are among the most reknowned and most representative of the Pauillac appellation. This wine should ideally be cellared for extended ageing, as it requires time to reveal the characteristic qualities Pauillac wines: full body, dark color, truffle and chocolate flavors.
Reviews:
The bouquet is obviously less intense than the 2005. Blackberry, black plum, violets, a touch of undergrowth, liquorice and there in the background is a mote of hoi sin. Superb definition and very refined, developing a candied bouquet with time. The palate is medium-bodied, very pure with superb tension. There are notes of blackberry, cassis, blueberry and bilberry, wonderful balance, but the finish is still tannic and tightly-coiled. This is a Pauillac with real panache and style although would give this 5-6 years cellaring. Drink 2011-2025. Tasted October 2009.
