Description

One of the finest as well as longest-lived wines of the vintage. The finest Pontet canet since 1961. Impressive! Anticipated maturity 2005-2025. 93/100 Robert Parker

As usual an attractively dark hue in the glass, still tending towards red in colour rather than anything overtly mature. It doesn't take long to open up, less than an hour in the decanter, and it starts to show maturing aromas of aromatic black tea leaves alongside the notes of black olives, green peppercorn and mint. In fact it shows in a fashion very similar to my note from late 2010. The palate has only a moderate weight in keeping with the vintage, which can show beautiful classicism but rarely a great deal of flesh. The structure of the wine follows this rule, with a dry tannic bite. Good acids, altogether bright and composed, but with the usual challenging composition. This works very well now with roast beef or similar, but it still needs time for this tannic backbone to resolve completely. No rush here. From a tasting of 1994 Bordeaux. 17/20 (August 2011)The Wine Doctor

Tasted by Cooky474 on 11/21/2011 & rated 91 points: Decanted one hour prior to consumption, but could have done with another as the wine was opening up just as the bottle was being finished. Red-brick rim, medium to full bodied, tannins quite prominent, although soft rather than harsh. Bouquet restrained at first, although opened up with time with black fruits predominant, but more secondary such as leather and tobacco coming to the fore. Length was moderate to long. Still some time to go on this one.

Tasted by sharonandroland on 10/21/2011 & rated 92 points: Very elegant, long way to go.
