"A candidate for "wine of the vintage",Pontet-Canet's 2008 boasts an opaque purple color as well as copious aromas of sweet blueberries,blackberries and black currant fruit intertwined with lead pencil shavings,subtle barbecue smoke and a hint of forest floor.Full-bodied,with fabulous richness,texture and tremendous freshness,this First-Growth-like effort is more developed than the uber-powerful 2010.Give it 5-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following three decades. Bravo! Drink 2016-2046".

"A limpid deep ruby colour.The nose has wonderful definition,very pure with creme de cassis,black plum,a touch of graphite and cedar.It has certainly become less flamboyant and more precise since tasting out of barrel.The second bottle in October 2009 has an added dimension of fresh tangerine.The palate is full-bodied,firm tannins,quite attacking on the front palate,strong Cabernet flavours with that seam of graphite running from start to finish.Blackberry leaf,a touch of black plum and cassis struck through with vibrant acidity.Quite sinewy and less fleshy than I remember but undoubtedly a classy wine.Coming back after ten minutes,the 2008 has more puppy fat than the 2005 and the wine is finally revealing its cashmere finish. Drink 2013-2030.Tasted October 2009".
