1949 Pontet-Canet
BY NEAL MARTIN | JUNE 24, 2024
I recently attended a delightful private dinner in Washington, DC, in aid of the American Heart Association. The vinous theme was Pontet-Canet. Proprietor Alfred Tesseron has been a long-term supporter of this charity, and he had flown over specially for the event, guiding us through several recent vintages. The oldest was a bottle of the 1949 Pontet-Canet.
In this
era, the wine was bottled by négociant Cruse & Fils Frère, as
indicated by the label. Of course, you never quite know what to expect with
bottles of this antiquity, though I found that this Pauillac still has much to
offer after three-quarters of a century. Deep in color, with modest bricking on
the rim, the aromatics perhaps lack the finesse of the elite wines in this
exemplary growing season. Yet, gorgeous tobacco and pencil-shaving scents are entwined
with the remnants of black fruit. Similarly, the palate could be described as
lacking the refinement of the best 1949s. But I admire its broad-shouldered
frame and grip. This is a wine with a bit of swagger after many years. Touches
of Japanese nori appeared towards the slightly dry finish. Overall, I found the
1949 had more to offer than the 1945 I tasted a few years ago. 90/Drink 2024-2034.
