Château Pontensac 1996 wine from Médoc makes for an exceptional and thoughtful gift for a 30th birthday or anniversary.
1996 tasting notes The Wine Advocate, RP 90
The 1996 Potensac is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc. This vintage has quite a reputation; indeed, at 20 years of age, it stands out as one of its overachievers. It has a lively, very pure blackcurrant- and bilberry-scented bouquet with crushed-stone aromas, very youthful and backward. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, dense, tarry black fruit tinged with cedar, a dash of spice, and a structured finish with a lingering saline aftertaste. It will easily give another 10-15 years of drinking pleasure.
