Cellar Tracker August - 2023
Cellar Tracker
Excellent showing from a 37yo Bordeaux. Was worried at first that the wine may be dead and had a back up on hand but first sip proved good, even if it was maybe a bit thin. Decanted for sediment which there was very little and aired in the cellar for about one hour. Then the magic happened... Deep, robust scents of dark fruits, warm leather, and earthy notes. Layers upon layers of complex flavours and warm notes of dark fruit and tobacco. Excellent weight in the mouth showed its balance of fully-resolved tannins with lively but composed fruit. Acidity may have been in decline but in no way flabby. Good enough to stand up to beef short ribs. Excellent staying power showed no decline over a two-hour dinner and was pleasantly surprised by its performance. Another win for Pontet-Canet and well-aged Bordeaux.

This wine still remains relatively young, with a dark plumgarnet color, an intriguing nose of black currants intermixed with compost, earth, and a hint of mushroom. The wine is dense, muscular, tannic, and very masculine. The tannins seemed slightly elevated for the concentration, but there is a lot going on here. This wine certainly saturates the palate, but will it ever come into complete harmony? .

A rich, elegant, complex and well-proportioned wine with layers of cedar, p lum, currant and spice that are intense and deep. Finish is long and elegant. .

Colour Dark red. Medium to good intensity. Slight evolution. First Nose Clean. Fresh cream. Swirling Clean. More fruity. Palate Soft entry, developing on a medium body. The wine lacks substance and evolves quite quickly on slightly dry and simple tannins on the finish. To drink quickly.

Château Château Pontet Canet
Château Pontet Canet

Château Pontet Canet is a Bordeaux wine estate. The 80-hectare vineyard is located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, not far from Château Mouton Rothschild. Château Pontet Canet is classified as a fifth growth in the 1855 classification.

The wines of Pontet-Canet have always been part of the Médoc legend. Deep ruby, purple, sometimes black, Pontet-Canet wine develops a characteristic nose where black fruits, especially blackcurrant, liquorice, prune, notes of figs, cedar and sometimes cocoa blend together. On tasting, the wine combines power and elegance, density and amplitude. With a muscular character, it imposes a serene idea of classicism with its tannic structure that reveals a long and peaceful ageing potential. The men of Pontet-Canet continuously pursue the work undertaken more than three centuries ago, bringing, in each era, the most advanced techniques with an eternal concern to improve the quality of the wine while respecting and expressing the purest expression of the terroir.

The wine of Pontet-Canet, as well as the second wine, Les Hauts de Pontet-Canet, are exclusively sold by wine merchants in Bordeaux.
