A consignor who began collecting in 2002, after being introduced to Cakebread Cabernet at a dinner. His wine was sourced through the LCBO and auctions. The bottles were stored at a constant 57 degrees in a Vintage Keeper.
The score for 2006 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac is 94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Pontet-Canet has an extremely pure, vivacious, perfumed bouquet with crushed violets infusing the blueberry and blackberry fruit. But it is all about the detail and precision in this wine. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth - lightly toasted black fruit, dried orange peel, cedar and a pinch of white pepper. This feels very cohesive and poised with just a touch of mint entering right on the finish. What a great wine from Alfred Tesseron and Jean-Michel Comme. Go grab the corkscrew now, but don't feel that this wine has to be opened for another 5-6 years.
