Taste Pontet Canet 1999 and Branaire Ducru 1999

Enoteca is organizing a tasting on March 5, 2009.

Taste the Pontet Canet 1999 at Enoteca. This wine scored 88points from Wine Advocate. For those of you interested to taste the Pontet Canet and Branaire Ducru,  register with Enoteca before 5 March.

What’s being served?

CH.PONTET CANET 1999
“Licorice, creme de cassis, and toasty oak are typical of this classic Pauillac. It is full-bodied, with excellent sweetness, grip, structure, and more tannin than many 1999s possess. This structured, muscular effort will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016.” – The Wine Advocate- WA:88pts

CH.BRANAIRE DUCRU 1999
Taste: This is a beautifully perfumed effort revealing scents of graphite, lead pencil shavings, blueberries, raspberries, and black currants. The wine is rich, layered, medium-bodied, pure, and elegant. It is a complex St.-Julien with good flavor depth, soft tannin, and unobtrusive acidity. Drink it now and over the next 12-15+ years.
