(2/28/2019) "Reminding me of the 2010 and, I suspect, a wine that will merit a triple-digit rating in a decade or so (I tasted this on multiple occasions and thought it was perfect on one of them), the 2016 Chateau Pontet-Canet comes from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot that spent 16 months in 50% new French oak, 35% in concrete amphora, and the rest in second fill oak. Thrilling notes of pure creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, crushed mint, graphite, and crushed rock notes all emerge from this deep, powerful, yet elegant Pauillac. The style of this wine has become more and more finesse-driven and pure, yet it hasn't lost a beat on concentration or length. This singular, beautiful Pontet-Canet needs 7-8 years of cellaring (it has some accessibility today given its purity and balance) and will keep for 4-5 decades. Maturity 2026 - 2076."

Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse "Dauphin de Grand Puy Ducasse" Pauillac 2015
90
Our Score
(6/2021) Imagine getting to drink a red Bordeaux from a classified-growth producer in Pauillac, from one of the finest vintages of this millennium for less than $30. That's just what the "Dauphin" from Grand-Puy Ducasse provides. This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot comes from the estate's younger vines (20 years old) and is aged for a full 16 to18 months. You feel the warmth of the 2015 vintage here, it drinks like a meal! It is as if they bottled a peppered flank steak with a blackberry reduction, accented by dried red cherry, anise, dried thyme and a cocoa dusting - all on a charred cedar plank that was painted with blackstrap molasses. This intense, harmonious, medium-bodied Bordeaux is ready for enjoyment. For best results, allow it an hour in your decanter and pair with charred red meat.
