I opened this 2012 Chateau Pontet-Canet last night and it was stellar. The Pontet-Canet is a 5th growth classification that hits way above that tier. The estate of Pontet-Canet is located in the northern end of the Pauillac commune, across the road from Chateau Mouton Rothschild. The grape variety is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. I describe this one as a restrained elegant beauty. @55Seventy — 3 years ago

Stellar Pomerol with dominant Merlot body and flavors. At 19 years this is quality claret. Opened up after an hour to reveal complex berries and earth. Still has many years of good drinking. 🍷🍷 — 7 years ago

Lots of fruit flavor. One of the best organic wines we’ve had. Not too much tannin. Prior ratings weren’t great but we thought the 2020 was very good. — 5 years ago

Sept 2020. This 2005 was stellar in every way. It still had weigh and great structure and harmony. Wonderful nose stands out. A perfect old CA Cab. 94 — 5 years ago

Stellar nose. Smoke, leather, truffle, bbq, super mineral, mint, forest floor, cassis, mineral, so clean, loads of cedar and pine, palate is even a bit young. So juicy and complex. Mineral and fresh. Big tannic spine. Complex and long. Can still use some age. Gorgeous now. — 6 years ago
