Community Tasting Note

  October 11, 2013 - Floral, boysenberry, licorice, leaves, cassis, cedar and tobacco scents are in your face. This is powerful, dense and intense. The wine fills your mouth, coats your palate and continues to expand in the finish delivering an amazing tasting experience that you cannot put down without taking another sip. Before you know it, the bottle is empty, which is the true mark of all great wines.

  I must ask. Is the 2010 Pontet Canet at the same level in terms of quality and sophistication as the other 2010 First Growths?
  
  Basically if tasted blind, would you rank PC with the rest of the Firsts? Notch below, equal? Just curious as I haven't tried 2010 PC yet.
  
  Thanks kindly!
