Pulled this from the cellar for family night. 2008 certainly wasn't the best year in Bordeaux, but this one was still solid. Decanted for about 3 hours. Notes of black currant and cedar right off of the rip. Swirling reveals notes of blueberries and prune, and a nice oak finish. Its still slightly astringent and probably could have aged for a few more years.

The 2008 got me the best compliment I’ve heard so far. OMG this is so smooth. And you can be the wine guy for the next get together.
Excellent wine excellent choice
We had a great vertical tasting of Pontet Canet last November. We didn’t have a 2008 so it’s nice to read your notes. All were very good. 1996;was superb. 2020 was way too young but still good.[Pontet Canet Vertical at Ruth’s Chris Baton Rouge.](https://photos.app.goo.gl/uHJYxfQWFaGKsaDW8)
