Pontet Canet 1996

Warm, strong, dark, and powerful. Somewhat a brute of a wine, perhaps not fully mature but showing a nice typical Bordeaux maturity. Has a definite dark streak through it with some very toasty wood and strong coffee on a long finish. A slight sweet note in the center tops it all off. A very nice wine.

I always liked this wine. Usually I'm stingy with my small buys, but somehow drank all 4 of these up too young. Thanks for notes
