Lot #44. Pontet-Canet 1994

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 91 RP.
"Quality has soared since the 1994 vintage, but prices have not yet caught up with the "new" Pontet-Canet. However, this is not a forward, luscious, rich, sweet, fruity style of Pauillac (such as the charming Pichon-Lalande and Haut-Batailley), but rather, a dense, masculine, massively-styled wine meant for long-term cellaring. One of the finest as well as longest-lived wines of the vintage, this [is an] opaque purple-colored 1994 . . . . A rich, impressive, full-bodied wine, it represents the finest Pontet-Canet produced since the 1961. This full-bodied, purely made wine is crammed with blackcurrant fruit, as well as forbiddingly tannic and backward." Wine Advocate #109, Feb 1997
Provenance: The Colombe Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $55
