Château Pontet-Canet 2009 Barrel sample Red (Pauillac)

Online Exclusive

98-100 Barrel sample. A superb wine, with the purest fruit, great freshness and ripeness. It is certainly structured with dry tannins, but the blackcurrant freshness is all there. The wine has a great limpid, flowing feel, lbut also power. — R.V. (8/9/2010)

Château Pontet-Canet 2010 Red (Pauillac)

Dense, yes, but this is also a handsome wine that balances complex tannins with pure black currant fruits that shine. This biodynamic wine has a generous, full and rich feel, ripe with just a touch of restraint. The greatness of the wine shows in its purity with a deceptive simplicity that hides the final complex tannins and structure. — R.V. (5/1/2013)

Online Exclusive

96-98 Juicy, sappy character. The wine has ripe, very pure fruit, with the most piercing acidity. The dark tannins, hints of black fruits, big structure all come from super-rich, still elegant fruit. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

Château Pontet-Canet 2004 Barrel sample Red (Pauillac)

93-95 A wine that combines big solid, but fresh fruit, with big flavors of new wood. It is solid, black and powerful. — R.V. (6/1/2005)

points

Château Pontet-Canet 2005 Red (Pauillac)

Despite its core of strength and power and obvious aging ability, this is already a delicious wine, with mint aromas, ripe fruit masking the solid tannins. This estate has been on a roll for several years, and this 2005 shows why. — R.V. (6/1/2008)
