Description
Robert Parker: Upgraded in score over my original rating, which
was several points lower, Alfred Tesseron has done a remarkable job
since 1994 with Pontet-Canet, which has been hitting first-growth
levels since 2003. But the 2000 also shows exceptionally well. In
need of another decade of cellaring, this dense purple wine has a
classic nose of incense, charcoal, creme de cassis, and subtle new
oak. Full-bodied, powerful, still very tannic, and shockingly
backward, this is a big, rich wine that has put on weight and seems
to need more time than I originally predicted.
