This is a special wine to be enjoyed with soft creamy cheeses. The 2004 is it’s best expression. Loved it. — 8 years ago

The third wine of the group was a 1989 Pichon Lalande, the cross street neighbor of Pichon Baron that also lies just north of Chateau Latour on the Gironde estuary side of the D2. The Lalande was also in great shape, with very good density and viscosity, it was a soild wall of mature black fruits like currant, bing cherry, and blackberry, with hints of mint and smoke. Texturally it was full-bodied and mouthfilling, with ripe & fleshy tannin, a dense, long finish. — 9 years ago

Pontet Canet tasting and dinner with Alfred Tesseron.

The 96 is a nice surprise add from Clyde’s cellar. Thank you Clyde.

This 96 is beautifully floral. The evolution is right around its peak. The body is medium full and the tannins soft. It’s an elegant beauty.

The fruits are ripe and delicious. Leaner blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries and shades of raspberries. Soft earth; dry top soil, dry rock, limestone minerals, old tobacco, soft leather, cedar with dry and withering red & dark florals. The acidity is like a waterfall. The long finish is well balanced fruit & earth and in a sweet spot.

Love this vintage of Dominus along with the 91. Served blind with the 86 Mouton where most of the group guessed the Dominus for the Mouton. Easy to do as this was so Bordeaux like with dark berry fruits, earth, cedar, leather & tobacco, beautifully balanced, structured, complex with a long finish. — 8 years ago

Ranked 1 by the group ( I ranked 2) at the 82 Bordeaux and Cab tasting. Good balance I thought abbot undeveloped possibly needing more air? Wine went well with antelope — 10 years ago
