Critic Scores, Reviews & Descriptions

95+ WA / 94 VM / 94 WCI / 93 JS / 93 WS / 16.5+ JR

The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure nose of graphite, charcoal, sweet creme de cassis, and a hint of scorched earth. Incredible concentration, stunning richness, and a 60-second finish result in a wine that transcends the vintage as well as this estates 1855 classification. This enormously endowed, modern day classic is a legend in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2050+.-Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Saturated medium ruby. Inky cassis, black raspberry, graphite and pungent minerality on the very ripe nose. Dense, rich and silky, with a brooding inky minerality and an almost liqueur-like dark fruit sweetness leavened by a savory peppery element. This very ripe, deep and concentrated wine boasts wonderful lushness without any undue weight thanks to its sheer energy. Like its neighbor Mouton-Rothschild, Pontet-Canet's 2006 conveys a powerful impression of soil character. Finishes with serious dusty tannins and superb lingering sweetness. Should be long-lived. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

Still dark, the color has barely moved from its youthful inky hue. Licorice, espresso, smoke, tobacco, truffle, plums, cocoa, and blackberry aromas resonate. Full bodied and packed with deep, ripe, fruit, the tannins still need time to soften and resolve. Yet, it's hard not to like the layers of fleshy, ripe fruit on the palate and in the finish.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider, tasted 5/16

This red is now soft and fruity with plum, berry and mineral character. Its full-bodied with fine tannins and a gorgeous finish. Drink or hold. James Suckling

Blackberry, currant and plum tart aromas lead to a full body, with a solid core of fruit, sweet fruit and silky tannins. Generous and round, with lovely richness for the vintage. Best after 2014.-Wine Spectator

Very very dense purple. Lovely perfume. A little austere on the palate. Good lively mid palate and well structured but there is a little greenness. Fresh and brisk.-Jancis Robinson
