Merlot with a dash of Syrah, this wine gives you red cherries and dusty blackberries with a sprinkling of pink peppercorns. Punches above its weight class.

Had the 2012 (can only find the 2012 magnum on Wally's Wine and Spirits Website, and well worth it as it's above and beyond the '13) on our honeymoon in Kauai at the St Regis Kauai Grill. Wonderful wine that barely needs need to breathe and can be pretty much paired with anything. — 11 years ago
Lovely balance, opened up with a bit of aeration and punched well above its weight. — 11 years ago
Great value claret with a bit of age, punching well above! — 12 years ago
Very tasty! As Lloyd put it... "It's a step above our wine in a box." :) — 13 years ago
As far as big houses go, always been a fan of the special cuvée. This is a cut above - lots and lots of biscuit and toast, but very well integrated, bit of dried apricot and a slight tinge of bitter oxidation rounding out this one - fantastic sparkler. — 11 years ago
83 vintage was showing strong tannin still... Lovely wine, everything there but definitely in to secondary flavour characteristics. Even this far back Pontet-Canet was punching above it's 5th growth status. #mtlwinethrowdown — 11 years ago
Full bodied and well-balanced. Delicious chard but priced well above what most are willing to pay for CA Chards. — 12 years ago

Great bubbles, complex on the back end. A steal at €27, and head and shoulders above its peers. — 11 years ago
