This came from a passive cellar in the basement of a San Francisco home. Fill was good at the bottom of the neck. Cork was saturated on the sides but no leakage. To my surprise there was still life here. Clearly past it's prime but far from dead. Quit oaky on the nose, garnet color with slight brownish clear bricking on the edge. In the mouth a pleasant mix of mushrooms, cedar and pencil lead.

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.
