This collection represents over 30 years of meticulous curation by a former Director of both TVC and TWS, where the owner served on the prestigious buying committee. Every bottle has been sourced exclusively from trusted origins and maintained through an unbroken chain of climate-controlled storage. While abroad, wines were held at premier facilities—55 Degrees in St. Helena and Smith & Taylor in London—before being moved to custom-built home cellars featuring dedicated cooling and humidity controls. The owner has remained an active educator and steward in the wine community, ensuring this collection reflects a lifetime of professional-grade care and impeccable provenance.
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 points. 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. 2010 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 100 points, James Suckling 100 points, Falstaff Magazine 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2010 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac from Robert Parker - with a score of 100 points. 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!. 2011 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac from this lot has the following scores - Wine Enthusiast 96 points, Tim Atkin, MW 96 points, James Suckling 95 points, Decanter 95 points, The Wine Advocate 94 points, Falstaff Magazine 94 points.
