Chateau Pontet Canet, Pauillac 0,75ltr. 95/100 Points James Suckling
Pontet-Canet has a sultry richness, is creamy and fruity with an unprecedented purity and vitality. A monumental wine with a brilliant palate that almost takes your breath away. The wine has a ripe blackcurrant aroma, is deep red in color with beautifully integrated soft tannins. A grand seigneur who has long since transcended his status as 5th cru.
“Deep garnet with a hint of purple to the color, the 2014 Pontet-Canet gives a very serious, classic Pauillac nose of blackcurrant preserves, baked blackberries and warm black plums with suggestions of menthol, pencil lead, woodsmoke, cassia and cast-iron pan plus a hint of baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with black and blue fruit preserves with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and bold freshness, giving lift to the long, exotic spice-laced finish. It is approachable now, but really should start to make jaws drop in another 4-5 years.” – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
