2015, Château Pontet-Canet, PAUILLAC, 5ème Grand Cru Classé

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2015 Pontet-Canet oozes class, finesse and pure pedigree. A hypothetical combination of the 2010 (for its dark fruit and tannic structure) and the 2009 (for its voluptuous fruit), the 2015 offers remarkable intensity, power and grace.  
95-98 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

A vindication of Jean-Michel Comme’s obsession with detail. A true Pauillac powerhouse, exploding with aromas of wild blackberries and Lapsang Souchong tea before the voluptuous, expressive palate unfolds. Peerless definition and gravitas, but have patience. Part matured in amphora.
Drink 2025-2045.
97 Simon Woolf, Decanter Magazine. Oct 2019

This is very fine and silky with a beautiful vivid blackberry and blueberry character. Super polished tannins. Refined and very, very long. Fabulous harmony to this young wine. Very classic Bordeaux. Superb depth and length. Real Bordeaux.
97-98 James Suckling.

Pure and perfumed bouquet with small dark cherries, red plum and subtle violet scents, perhaps a little Margaux-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly grainy texture on the entry. There is nicely judged acidity here, moderate depth, very supple tannin that lend this a silky texture. It is an intriguing and complex, almost mercurial Pontet-Canet, a wine that I suspect will gain more weight during its elevage. Afford this 5-8 years in bottle and you should have a delicious, intellectual Pontet-Canet on your hands.
