Vintage 2014 is only 4.3* at vivino. Should have been 4.4* if properly decanted. Tastingbook says 5hrs decanting time but i decanted it 6hrs (decanter) this time & it was perfect! Previously i followed 5hrs and it was not as good as tonight. No wonder JS rated it 96*👍
I decanted Ch Pontet Canet 2015 slowly from the bottle (not decanter) for 7hrs. It was smooth, stunning & powerful. Goes on for minutes, best when you pair it with Steak. Highly recommended superb vintage!

Decanted 4&half hour from the bottle + 2hrs decanter. The taste was still good (above average)
But not impressive. Should have been open 2024.
