1996 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/28/2018 - Hazeo wrote: 93 pointsA great example of an aged Bordeaux. Leather, cigar box, forest floor, slight pencil lead and earthy black fruit. The tannins are resolved but drinking very well after pop and pour. Excellent but not a blockbuster, as the nose wasn't as expressive and the finish a little clipped. |

12/15/2018 - Wineist05 Likes this wine: 95 pointsBroke open an OWC to sample for celebrating an major life accomplishment. Dark and inky with slight bricking. Splendid nose of creme de cassis, vanilla, dark fruits and suggestion of typical Pauillac earth. Palate is Medium to full bodied. Full in the mouth. Lots of dark fruit with oak influence but at this stage hard to dissect the fruit. Somewhat disjointed palate. Finish was long and slightly sweet (in a good way). Precise freshness. Firm tannins. Overall this wine is young and immature in areas but it will no doubt develop over the years and likely become the 100 point wine RP and company have claimed. For now, if you decant for a few hours it is fun to drink but if you only have 1 or 2 I would wait many years. Of note, we blind tasted this initially with the 2014 PC which was not really fair to the 14. There was NO question which was the 09. The 14 is far from approachable imo. |

12/27/2018 - jrh82 Likes this wine: 94 pointsDrinking superb now. Seems to be on the cusp of going into more mature stage. Still lots of blackcurrant on the nose. Together with mocca, ripe plum, pretty big but not heavy meaning broad and giving off a lot on the nose but without being out of balance. On the mouth certainly in balance, very smooth, no hard tannins. Remember drinking this a few years back and the tannins were more noticeable than they are now. This is classic Bordeaux and pure Pauillac. Definitely a food wine. Drank with Cote de Boeuf and red wine sauce. Needless to say - worked perfectly. Great wine. |

12/27/2018 - NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 93 pointsMedium purple color. Super classic notes of cedar wood, leather, cassis, tobacco, cigarbox, lead pencil, graphite, also some dark plum, smoke, there is also an element of savory herbs. It‘s medium+ bodied, with good mid-palate persistence and medium-high acidity, as well as medium+ tannin that is suprisingly ripe. Good length. A very good Pontet-Canet that is a clear outperformer in this vintage. Objectively, I would rate this 93, but it‘s providing even more joy drinking now. |

12/27/2018 - IvanLi Likes this wine: 95 pointsAs a historically fifth growth and the product of a somewhat questionable vintage the 2003 Pontet Canet meets and surpasses the highest of expectations. 6 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

6/30/2018 - Blackbeard. wrote: 95 pointsThis wine is big and rich, needs at least 4-5 hours in the decanter today to really show its potential. Should be a great wine in 5-10 years, but too young for my palate today. Based on this, i will not open my 2005 for a very long time. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

12/25/2018 - g-man wrote: 90 pointsRelatively short decant of 30 min. Still very young on the nose with balsamic notes. Moderate tannic structure but did note overpower the fruit. Probably needs about 3 to 5 years to really reach its potential. |

12/22/2018 - DCHawkeye Likes this wine: 94 pointsWith beef short ribs. Still young and big, but drinking very well now with a couple hour (minimum) decant. Just a great nose - almost beefy. |

12/24/2018 - liber Likes this wine: 92 points8th of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, more to it than March bottle, impressive weight of fruit, if without the nuance and grace of now slightly underpowered Barton 99 on same night, clearly more attractive than Malescot 99. F (17.5). |

12/24/2018 - Klugi Wine wrote: 93 pointsTannins have mellowed out over the past 5 years. Now full ripe with good cassis, some truffles and pencil shavings. Still a good structure for this abnormal vintage. Does not reach the heights of 05 or 10 but still one of the top wines of the Vintage. I would drink it over the next decade. |

12/20/2018 - MrBrege wrote: 93 pointsOpened and double decanted in the morning, then left to slow-ox for the day AND most of next day (!). Despite this treatment, it was a little harsh although very enjoyable with tapas. The balance and length were excellent though, so in a few years this should be a truly terrific wine, 93-95. |
