The red wine Château Pontet-Canet, vintage 1961 from the winery Château Pontet-Canet has been rated in 2022 by Peter Moser with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot from the region Pauillac in France.
Intense carmine red with good depth, an ochre hue, brightening on the rim. Attractive bouquet with floral nuances, notes of ripe plums, liquorice and blackberries, orange zest, a hint of nougat. Juicy, medium-bodied, has slimmed down with age, some red berry nuances, barely perceptible tannins, a Burgundy-like finish, something like an old fashioned claret, still packed with sufficient power and length. A true long-distance runner.
