2014 Hauts de Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/14/2020 - mtarrant003 Likes this wine: 91 pointsCassis, cedar and tobacco on the nose. Black currant, plum, cedar and a touch of graphite on the palate. Good tannic structure but tannins are lovely and smooth. Medium finish. This comes across as an understated version of the grand vin and will provide great drinking for the next ten years. |

7/1/2020 - mtarrant003 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis was certainly recognisable as a Pontet Canet and also served as a good insight of what is to come with the Grand Vin. On the nose this showed, cassis, blackberry and a touch of oak. On the palate there is good concentration to the wine with flavours of blackberry, cedar and spice emerging. The wine is well balanced with a medium finish. Very nice. |

5/29/2021 - Saint B Likes this wine: NRBarnyard nose initially, blew away within half an hour. Classic Bordeaux nose, creme de cassis. Notes of blueberries, vanilla, oak. Fine and melted tannis, velvety. Slightly light when compared to the grand vin, otherwise quite impressive for a second wine. |

7/6/2020 - Mingles Likes this wine: 90 pointsSooo.. didn’t wait long since last bottle. Shared 4 bottles with friends and steak this weekend. Beautifully hit the spot. No excess alcohol, has the strawberry aroma, was lovely. As a second wine you could pick holes in mid-palate/length, but it’s really well put together. Can’t wait til various vintages of the first wine that I’ve accumulated hit their stride, as I’ve not had that luxury yet. |

3/20/2022 - Ryan Lee Does not like this wine: 85 pointsYouthful but rather light and did not exhibit its full potential. Fruity, yet shallow without a long finish. Wine does not have a rigid body structure, quite dull and flat. A very standard 2nd label. |

5/14/2015 - Eric Guido wrote: 90 pointsThe nose was incredibly rich with ripe black raspberry up front, spice, dark chocolate and hints of sweet herbs. On the palate, it displayed silky, almost creamy textures with pliant ripe red berry fruit. It was forward and intense, yet it retained balance throughout with a finish of dark fruits, herbs and hints of spice. |

12/21/2013 - FransS wrote: 89 pointsFirst impression (over two days), so I'm a bit reticent; good red fruit with fresh acidity, sufficiant midtaste and body, very ripe tannins, no hard edges. I'm not conviced by the first bottle. the wine is good, but I have to retaste to estimate its potential. One thing for sure, the wine needs a lot of aeration. |

11/20/2014 - FransS wrote: 94 pointsI have enjoyed several hours my 1000th tasting note, but now duty calls. It took quite a while to let this wine unfold and than it is still not the big brother (that gap is too big), but be sure it is a very classic Pauillac, with a beginning of the cigar box, the midtaste is somewhat severe and than comes a concentrated black fruit aftertaste with ripe tannins. This is a very serious effort to become one of the best 2nd wines of the Bordeaux 2010 vintage, if you can keep your fingers off the bottle for another 3 to 4 years. |

10/9/2020 - PMJak11 wrote: 90 points45+ decant but needed closer to 2 hours. Dark purple in color. Nose was all over the place - US, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy. Wine had minimal fruit, plenty of wood, and lots of Portuguese elements. Would have guessed California or Portugal if having blind. Depth was medium as well as the finish. Ample tannins. Expected more from the label and vintage. |

11/4/2012 - Loren Sonkin wrote: 88 points2009 Bordeaux (for Public TV) (World Series of Wine): A nice showing for this second wine (Pontet Canet). Not sure there is any value here though as I think this sells closer to $50 now. Ruby/purple in color. Clear and bright. The nose is dusty with cassis. Someone said peppery but I found it more like bramble (think Zinfandel). Nice texture and very smooth to drink. Dark cherries, some bitterness (not bad), and a bit of black raspberries. Firm tannins. Somewhat generic, but a find and enjoyable wine. Nothing in common to the Grand Vin. |

1/27/2015 - cephomer Likes this wine: 90 pointsWestchester Wine School: Haut Medoc - Terrior & Vintage: Drank at WWS Haut Medoc tasting vs 2006 vintage, and this bottle was far more preferable. Pretty, bright crimson in color. Quite tight, with very firm tannins. As wine opened in the glass, the wine showed black fruits, some cassis, lots of lead pencil and some coffee element. Good length, with nice spice. |

2/21/2013 - MusignyBlanc wrote: NRI think the previous reviews have been pretty spot-on for this wine (at this stage). My primary impression, however, is that if I tasted this blind, I don't know that I would have thought it was BDX. More likely California Cabernet. A very upfront and fruit forward wine with not a lot of complexity. A lot of cassis, vanilla, and other sweet tones but not as balanced as I would like. On day two, there was more structure and some of the tannins emerged from the fruit. |
