This wine: Second time we tasted this wine during evening but this time from magnum - still blind! Sligtly better. I rated the magnum 89 and the bottle 88. Pale ruby color but with a light rim. (clearly less developed than the bottle which was tawny). Unfortunately a little corked but still worth 89.

This wine: Not as good as 1961. Pale tawny. Tertiary but still green pepper. High tannin. (later on the evening we also tasted a magnum of same vintage - still blind! It was slightly better. I rated the magnum 89: Pale ruby color but with a light rim. (clearly less developed than the bottle which was tawny). Unfortunately a little corked but still worth 89.)

Vin for særlig interesserte. 1962 Ch. Pontet-Canet: Lys orange. Lær, fiken, mineraler, blomster, unerskog og buljong. Blomstervann og buljong i munn. Fremdeles hint av tanniner. Spennende nese, men ikke akkurat vitalt i munn. Way over the top. 80p

Chateau Pontet Canet, Pauillac 1962 by a Cruse bottling. Top shoulder, dark red and looks much younger. Punchy flavors of cassis, blackberries, cedar, pencil, black olives. On the palate, presented a medium-bodied, with an acid-present as balanced counterweight to the fruit sweetness. But much cassis, blackberries, cedar, still has not quite juicy elegance and aristocracy. Beautiful medium long finish with cassis, blackberries and cedar. A great wine.

En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): From magnum
Hmm, it’s a bit funky, touch of cellar stink, a little sourly juicy on the palate, tannic burr. Hmm.
