Delicious, well-balanced BDX that is just entering its drinking window. It will age gracefully for years, and I plan to wait a while before opening another. Fruit was a mixture of strawberry and plum, somewhat unusual for a Pauillac. There were adornments of leather and tobacco.

A Private Tasting in London of various varietals: Either this bottle was a little off or the ‘12 Pontets are closing up. Earthy, woody nose. Foursquare palate of wood and blackberry. A bit thin. If I tasted this blind I would have guessed a decent Medoc and not Pauillac let alone Pontet Canet. 89

Toasty blackcurrant and cedar. Some tobacco and an edge of warm spices.
Well defined blackcurrant on the palate. Fine but firm tannic structure and fresh acidity. Great persistence.
Starting to enter drinking window and offering pleasure now.

Really good price performance ratio. I was surprised by how perfumed the nose was. The palate was full bodied with intense dark fruits.
