Château Pontet-Canet
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Tried the same wine out of magnum too, but the Jero was leagues better!

Mar 17th, 2015Current, leather bound antique book, dust, still lively but I would drink in the next 5 years. A beautiful expression from Pauillac

Sep 4th, 20141982 vintage. Good color and okay nose. Fully saturated cork. Decanted and tasted over the course of 1.5 hours. Light-medium body. Improved from an 8.6 to an 8.8 in the decanter after 45 mins. Very little frontal or end palate to speak of. What was there was all mid-palate and not directing traffic effectively. Definitely on the lower portion of the downslope. This bottle wasn't "bad" in the traditional sense but suspect a perfectly cellared bottle just might yield a 9.0-9.1 score. 9.24.23.
