100 point Blue Chip Bordeaux!
November 11, 2020
It's hard not to fall in love with this wine." Decanter
"The 2016 Pontet-Canet is absolutely breathtaking... 2016 is one of the most exquisitely well-balanced young Pontet-Canets I can remember tasting." Vinous
If you have the patience, this wine will blossom even more in the next five years and provide an unmatched drinking experience for the proceeding 20.
I, however, don't have patience and have already begun enjoying it!
Powerful, ample and racy in the glass, the 2016 is one of the most exquisitely well-balanced young Pontet-Canets I can remember tasting. Savory, high-toned aromatics and brisk mineral notes lend energy and delineation as this vivid wonderfully alive wine opens up in the glass. The flavors are dark and incisive, but it is the wine's total sense of harmony that is most compelling. All of the elements are simply in the right place. The 2016 is tremendous. It's as simple as that. As is often the case, Pontet-Canet is one of the most singular wines in Bordeaux." Antonio Galloni, Vinous
If you have any special occasions from 2016 (weddings, birth of a child) or are looking for the perfect holiday gift for yourself or someone else, the 2016 Chateau Pontet-Canet is a must have.
If you have a cellar, this blockbuster Bordeaux needs to be part of your collection. It is one of the ambassadors from an outstanding 2016 Bordeaux vintage.
Enjoy!
