  Dinner with 4 wines from Pauillac, 3 from 2019, 1 from 2020. Opened the wines on Sunday and the wines are to be consumed tonight, 7 days later.
  
  -Pontet Canet, 2019: PC did not impress. "Sweet with heat", I would call it. Went back and forth, but never got the impression this was a great wine. 2017 was a lot better. 92 pts.
  Update: PC really caught up as it was time for dinner. The wine of the night? Maybe: 95 pts.
  -Lynch Bages, 2019: A very good wine. I was very impressed by the 2017, and I ask myself if this is a better wine? Probably in the long run. 94-96 pts (2017 - 96 pts).
  -Pichon-Longueville Baron, 2019: Probably slight better than the Lynch Bages. This should be grand. 96-97 pts.
  -Clerc Milon, 2020: A very solid, high quality no fuzz Pauillac. 94 pts, but could ad a point or two with bottle age. Slightly lighter than the other wines

  as with all great wines, a 1hour plus decant is required.
  pure concentrated clean fruit, great balance, persistent finish.
  really good, but they need to sit for a few more years as this has a long life ahead of it.

  5/3/2024 - Elpaninaro Likes this wine:

  rich young purple red color, generous on the nose from the start settling into an elegant beauty after 4 hours in glass, cassis, plum, blackberry, a nice framing of spicy oak, relaxing and familiar, classic, on the palate young but surprisingly generous, primary blackberry and cassis fruit with firm spice notes from the oak, cloves, a bit of cedar, perfectly ripe but still with some classic restraint, abundant velvety tannins, excellent depth and a fine long finish with crushed berries on the tail end, this is somewhat reminiscent of the great 1985 and will hopefully have a similarly long life and generous drinking window.

  Lear garnet with a ruby core. Very clear. Cacophony of dark fruit scents with black blueberries and blackberries and bramble. Sweet blackberries, cinnamon, raspberries on the edges. Has at least three decades of life ahead of it.
