Pontet Canet 1988

Wine Advocate : 85/100
Wine Spectator : 87/100

"Really seductive, with blackberry, cherry and sweet tobacco aromas that follow through to a medium body, with firm tannins and a slightly metallic edge. Interesting and stylish."
- Wine Spectator, James Suckling, 2009

"The 1988 Pontet-Canet typifies many of the Medocs in this vintage with its fine color, narrowly constructed personality, and green tannins. Relatively lean and austere, this wine will age well, but it will always lack charm and flesh."
- Wine Advocate, February 1993
