A fantastic 2002, this lovely wine shows once more that today there aren't really bad years in Bordeaux, this Pontet Canet was well structured rich and tempting. Deep red, tempting rich multi layered nose ripe cherries, black current, coffee, cigar box, and tea leaves, full rich body, dry tannins, full of black fruit, high acidity and a long chewy finish. Was worth the wait, my score 90. Drink to 2022 — 8 years ago
Great fruit. Very enjoyable. Worth the price — 8 years ago
This old and empty bottle I drank with friends and family members on my Birthday it's a Magnum and wasn't as well cared for as another Magnum of Chateau Talbot also a 1949 Magnum also drank on my birthday with friends who as well as me, are old farts or dead. I'm still kicking but not a clue as to why? Possibly the fine wine I/we consumed? The Talbot was considerably better and I paid less for it back in the 70's. Drank it in 1979 it & me were 30 back then. I loved it then and my guess is I'd love it today!

One of the nicest Cabs I've had--ever! Velvety smooth, nice berry flavors with a rich, long finish. An excellent example of Oakvillle wines. Well worth the price. — 11 years ago

Cheers-ing to National Drink Wine Day...a day late, oops! But so worth the wait! Another phenomenal Cabernet Sauvignon from Corison Winery. One of our Napa favorites!

A delicious wine that needed a little time to open up in the glass, but the payout was worth it - 2005 vintage — 9 years ago
Great. Worth the wait. — 10 years ago
I've read a lot of mixed reviews on this vintage. For my part, the nose alone was worth opening the bottle. It was amazing. — 7 years ago
The Emirates flight crew altered me that @Claire Owen and I consumed a total of 4 bottles on the flight...worth it, I think? Needed something to pair with the caviar and canapés. #EmiratesSuites #a380 #honeymoon — 7 years ago
Amazing. Worth it to try. — 8 years ago
needs a long spell to open but worth the wait. Big blend — 8 years ago
Velvety mouthfeel with medium tannins. Robust red and dried fruits, finish of vanilla and graphite. Quaffable af. Would pair with lamb, rabbit, pork, cheese, hummus. Versatile. Honestly not worth it's price point. An off vintage from a delicious vinyard. Would not be hard to find a bottle 1/5 of the price. — 9 years ago
Let it open 45-1 hour your patience will be worth it. — 9 years ago

Sumptuous fruit and long finish. Floral notes in the aroma, dark berry, spice, and long smooth finish. Good balance. Medium weight. Made me think of what Queens Peak Cabernet might be like when it grows up. A delightful experience and worth the price. — 7 years ago
