About

Rating:

95+

"The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure nose of graphite, charcoal, sweet creme de cassis, and a hint of scorched earth. Incredible concentration, stunning richness, and a 60-second finish result in a wine that transcends the vintage as well as this estate’s 1855 classification. This enormously endowed, modern day classic is a legend in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2050+."

Those of you looking for a stunning Bordeaux to add to your collection, at quality that matches (and in many cases beats that of First and Second Growth Bordeaux) -- this is your wine.

The 2006 release of Chateau Pontet-Canet, which neighbors Chateau Mouton Rothschild, garnered jaw-dropping reviews from Robert Parker himself with a 95+ point score. It's just starting to enter its drinking window in the next year or so and has a 30+ year drinking window.
