Community Tasting Note

Bob Ramsak Likes this wine:

Monday, October 17, 2016 - Like its younger brother (tasted alongside the 2012), rich, smooth and complex with a full yet youthful balance unlike any I've ever tried before. I've never fully experienced wines like these before but know more than enough to say it was almost a shame to drink them this young. Nonetheless, my new go-to wine in the €125-140 range.

More about Chateau Pontet-Canet: Already known as a consistent high quality producer in the early 1990s, it's star rose with the 2009 vintage when both Robert Parker and Wine Enthusiast blessed it with perfect 100-point scores. Parker followed up with another tally of perfection the following year.

Tasted at the TopVino International Wine Festival, Ljubljana, Slovenia, 17-Oct-2016
