This is the tasting note for 2010 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. The 2010 Pontet-Canet offers a very deep garnet color. Whoa—the nose explodes with a vast array of black fruit preserves and savory nuances- plum preserves, blackcurrant cordial, black cherry coulis and licorice with wafts of dried lavender, melted chocolate, charcuterie, black olives, truffles and camphor plus a hint of sandalwood. The full-bodied palate is completely filled with black fruits, exotic spices and earthy nuances with a firm foundation of ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with epic length and depth. So much more expressive and seductive than a lot of 2010s at this stage, and yet it is still incredibly youthful. 2009 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, Wine Enthusiast 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2009 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Deep garnet in color, the 2009 Pontet-Canet slips sensuously from the glass with opulent scents of crème de cassis, baked plums and Black Forest cake plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, potpourri, oolong tea and menthol. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, it has a fantastically velvety frame and seamless freshness, finishing very long.
