James Suckling.com

You really want to drink this the minute you taste it with chocolate, walnut and cedar aromas and flavors. Full to medium body, very refined and flavorful. Seamless structure. Stone, currant leaf and tobacco.

Robert Parker

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2013 Pontet-Canet is evolving into tobacco, new leather and dried mulberries scents with a core of kirsch, baked plums and cigar box plus a waft of Indian spices. Medium-bodied, elegantly styled and wonderfully refreshing in the mouth, it has a solid line of grainy tannins and loads of mineral sparks on the finish.

Decanter Magazine

When tasted from barrel, it counted among the best of this challenging vintage. Not as intense a nose as the preceding wines, looking more evolved than the 2010 despite three years younger. Although in a 'lower gear', one enjoys tobacco and cedar aromatics with red and dark fruit. Medium finish.
