Since 1994 the quality of Pontet-Canet's wine has improved by leaps and bounds and it is now firmly established in the Bordeaux Super-second category.Robert Parker now consistently compares its quality to Bordeaux's First-Growths and has most recently accorded both Pontet-Canet's 2009 and 2010 vintages with 100 points:-
"A brilliant effort from proprietor Alfred Tesseron,Pontet-Canet's 2004 may ultimately prove to be a better wine than its more famous neighbour,Mouton-Rothschild".
Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. #158. April 2005).
"Shows beautiful aromas of crushed berries and currant,with hints of mineral.Full-bodied,with lovely currant,licorice,and mint.Long and caressing.Very refined and balanced.Another winner from Pontet-Canet.Best after 2011".

James Suckling. (WineSpectator.com March 2007).
"The bouquet is obviously less intense than the 2005.Blackberry,black plum,violets,a touch of undergrowth,liquorice,and there in the background is a mote of hoi sin.Superb definition and very refined,developing a candied bouquet with time.The palate is medium bodied,very pure with superb tension.There are notes of blackberry,cassis,blueberry and bilberry,wonderful balance,but the finish is still tannic and tightly-coiled.This is a Pauillac with real panache and style,although I would give this 5-6 years of cellaring. Drink 2011-2025".
