  Fully mature, drinking well, classic Bordeaux characteristics. A nice wine but not one I would seek out.

  Agree with E1855. This is beautiful. Stunning nose, vanilla, leather. Cigar box, red currants, velvety, with a long, long finish. (Marks auction purchase).

  I do not know how it happened but Pontet Canet 1997 evolved in a spectacular and unexpected way the past couple of years. I bough ta 12 bottle case upon release and have been regularly disappointed. The wine was typical of 97, earthy, green and globally unpleasant. I had 2 bottles left which were sitting there and I decided to open one on July 4th. What a pleasant surprise, green aromas have disappeared and the wine smells and tastes now like a good old fashioned Pauillac. Medium body, some tannins left and this difficult to describe appealing taste of Bordeaux wines that aged very well. I now wish I had one more case!
