Very modern and pleasant, approachable now

A solid wine but by no means what you would expect from a Poujeaux... slight green and unripe cabarnet notes

Quite good, lots of oak, might be overoaked with a risk of drying out with bottle age

Massive acidity, dense tannin structure, nice sweetness, this has a great potential

Nice sweetness with a bit of chestnut purée in the nose but a tad disjointed in the palate

Nice, dense, classic Pomerol nose. Reasonable value

Very noble and balanced, this has the potential to be very long lived but will never be a massive wine but with the potential to be a great Bordeaux

nice, round opulent and balanced

silky texture, nice roasted oak in the nose. This is really, really a nice wine. Already now but with great future potential. What an amazing wine!

Interesting play between acidity and sweetness, unfortunately the sweetness feels somehow artificial. Time might help

Well, well, well, I do usually like this wine, but we had a lively discussion and we all agreed that this was the wine and it wasn't a ault in the bottle (opened a second one just to be sure) and it was just disjointed with unripe cab notes and disjointed tanin structure.

The score is actually a 86-94. This can become fantastic, but it can also fall apart completely. So I give it a benefit of the doubt and give it a mid-way score. The point is that now it ha a huge acidity but also a niceand interesting sweetness with amaretto like notes.

Elegant with a great longevity promise

Not a charming wine, massive tannins, massive acidity. Feels disjointed. Maybe this is the stuff that great wines are made of 30 years down the road, but maybe also not.

I'm pessimistic

Extremely round, this is the roundest and most approachable Pontet Canet that I have ever tasted, which is weird, as I was expecting an even more closed down monster than the 2009 but no...
But then again the tanin structure promises a long long life ahead

Nice, very approachable and inviting, not so long lived I guess though. Phelan used to be a great value, but recent price increases make this wine a mid-range Bordeaux that performs according to its price

Soft and round with sunday roast notes. Solid but not interesting

This is a very very modern wine, round, oaky and fat. Really much more a Napa Cab then a Bordeaux, but is this so bad? Not for my taste, because I love wines like this.

Always a safe bet, Leoville Barton performs also in this vintage. Elgeant and balanced this is truly bordeaux and it's fans will continue to buy this wine...

Lots of oak but with these tanin reserves this wine can handle this. Should be long-lived...

This seems very evloved, risky that it does not last long...

Green olives, round and velvety. This feels like a Washington Cab blend...

Going already down the hill?

Really?

Can't believe this so try another bottle, and understand that these are perfectly stored ones. The second one was also a bit better but also clearly downhill, needs to be drunk...
