2008 Château Pontet-Canet - Pauillac

2008 Château Pontet-Canet - Pauillac
Château Pontet-Canet:

Since Alfred Tesseron took over in 1994, this property has continued to improve year after year.  Even though Pontet is only a Fifth Growth, they are producing wines at the level of the best Second Growths and in some vintages, as good as the Firsts. Based on the current prices for the wines of Pontet Canet, the market agrees. Situated next to Mouton Rothschild, Tesseron has inspired others on both banks to work more organically as well as consider biodynamic farming. Read more...
90 points Wine Spectator:

Very dark and brilliant in color, showing wonderful pure fruit, with crushed blackberry, currant and fresh-cut flowers. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, crisp, fruity finish. This offers impressive finesse and length. Score range: 90-93 –JS

92 points Wine Enthusiast:

92-94 Barrel sample. A warm wine, which shows richness, open-ness. It has ripe, structured tannins, jelly fruits, based on a solid structure of sweet tannins and bright Cabernet acidity.

96 points Wine Advocate:

A candidate for the wine of the vintage,Pontet Canets 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!
