Deep garnet colored, it needs coaxing to reveal a profound core of baked plums, creme de cassis, and cigar box with wafts of tapenade, wood smoke, and mossy bark, plus a spicy hint of cumin seed. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has an impressive foundation of ripe, grainy tannins and lively acidity supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing on a lingering peppery note.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tasting\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e96 Jeb Dunnuck 11\/17\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA final blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2014 Pontet-Canet is brilliant stuff, and I was able to taste this wine from barrel as well as multiple times from bottle, both at the estate and from a bottle purchased in the United States. It offers a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, tobacco leaf, and minerals, as well as an unmistakable Pauillac lead pencil characteristics that I just adore. Possessing full-bodied richness, a rounded, surprisingly opulent, sexy texture, awesome purity, and sweet, succulent tannin, it’s a sensational 2014 that might just surpass what they accomplished in 2015. This is a 2014 you won’t regret buying in bulk as it’s going to keep for 2-3 decades and be drinkable for the vast majority of it. Bravo to Alfred Tesseron and his team! 2020 - 2045\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-flex justify-content-between\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJS98 \"A stunning wine for this vintage although it’s still a bit shy on the nose (more spice than fruit showing than now). There’s wet earth, too, but on the palate it’s bursting with ripe yet subtle flavors. Very long and complex finish that goes on and on.\" JS Jan 2017\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.
