Château Pontet-Canet--Vintage 2008
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: A candidate for the wine of the vintage, Pontet-Canets 2008 boasts an opaque purple colour as well as copious aromas of sweet blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrant 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! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194 May 2011
