2009 Château Pontet-Canet

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

94 Points

Friday, March 26, 2021 - Online Blind Tasting: BDX vs Napa plus some Sweets: Tasted blind. Note based on ~ 5cl bottle, filled two days before the tasting.
Glass: Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux
Clear, deep garnet color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. Very harmonious and balanced.
Dry, high acidity, high, fine silky velvet tannin.
Wonderful red fruit and very spicy.
Great pressure and tension, lots of extract and power, beautiful texture. This bottle was a bit more advanced, more ripe and not as precise as the one I had a week before. But it might also be due to the fact that it was opened a day earlier. Nevertheless, a wonderful wine with a very long finish. 93-94+
