Friday, November 22, 2013 - Pontet Canet Tasting with Alfred Tesseron and Jack's Birthday Dinner (Palm Beach Gardens, FL): This wine was the most closed one of the tasting with the same one hour double decanting. It displayed medium body and acidity with mostly currant fruit that refused to open much on this night. The tannins are tight and young, but fairly mild compared to the other wines. The most noticeable difference was the lack of concentration on the finish which makes me wonder how much upside it has, though at a difficult place to evaluate right now. I would not open these now unless using some of the lengthy decanting others here have. Mssr. Tesseron suggested drinking now or waiting 10 years, though the wine I tasted already seemed closed.
