1995 Chateau Pontet Canet Pauillac

Professional Reviews

logo By Stephen Tanzer
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun '98
Rated: 90(+?)
Dark ruby-red. Black- and redcurrants and smoke on the nose; less oak-spicy today than the '96. Silky and harmonious but currently rather withdrawn. Not quite as sweet as the '96. Here the substantial toothcoating tannins come across as somewhat tougher, but there enough sheer extract for balance. Interestingly, this backward, rather powerful wine suggests the structure and grip of cabernet, while the silkier mouth feel of the '96 suggests a high percentage of merlot.
