Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Deep garnet in color, the 2012 Pontet-Canet gives up a profound earthy/savory nose, revealing notes of tilled soil, woodsmoke, mossy tree bark, fungi and bouquet garni with a core of raspberry preserves, boysenberries and dried cherries plus a hint of warm cassis. Medium-bodied, it has a firm grainy texture and a softly spoken, savory character in the mouth, finishing with lingering oolong tea and dried herbs notes.
James Suckling
This shows incredible decadence and opulence for the vintage with dried meat, black berry, blueberries and hints of mushroom. Full body, very polished silky tannins and a chewy finish. Lots of richness for the vintage. Persistent palate. This was aged 35% in cement eggs for 12 months.
Druvor
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc & 2% Petit Verdot.
Tasting note
'The nose is fruity, gourmand and finely powerful. It reveals notes of crushed cherry, blackberry jam and fine notes of crushed strawberry combined with touches of licorice, slight hints of oak, cocoa (discreet) as well as (very) discreet hints of caramelized oak, a hint of mushroom and a very discreet hint of blueberry (in the background). The mouth is fruity, beautifully fresh and offers minerality, a nice acid frame as well as a good matter. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of sour cherry, cassis and slight notes of crushed strawberry combined with hints of wood, a discreet hint of mushroom as well as a hint of licorice and a few slight woody notes. Good length and persistence. There are hints of iodized mineral on the finish / persistence.'

Vänstra stranden | Médoc & Péssac-Léognan
88 poäng
Sval och blöt tidigt ledde till ojämn skörd och sjukdomar, medan torr, varm augusti resulterade i en del blockerad mognad; Septemberregn hjälpte, men skördeperioden var kort innan oktoberregnen anlände, vilket lämnade några caberneter märkta av strama tanniner; Péssac och Margaux gynnade framför övre Médoc; mer inkonsekvent överlag än högra stranden.
Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion
90 poäng
Tidig mognad Merlot gynnas i allmänhet framför väsntra strandens Cabernet. Lerjordar med god vattenretention höll vinstockar igång under augustitorkan, medan grus lätt rann av de senare regnet. Pomerol mycket fast; St.-Emilion mer inkonsekvent med vissa viner som är benägna att överextraktion.
