About this product
TASTING NOTE : A candidate for the ' wine of the vintage ,' Pontet Canet ' s 2008 boasts an opaque purple color as well as copious aromas of sweet blueberries , blackberries and black currant fruit intertwined with lead pencil shavings , subtle barbecue smoke and a hint of forest floor . Full - bodied , with fabulous richness , texture and tremendous freshness , this first - growth - like effort is more developed than the uber - powerful 2010 . Give it 5 - 8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following three decades . Bravo ! Score : 96 ( Robert Parker Jr ., erobertparker . com , May 2011 )
