Vinum bewertet Château Pontet Canet 2016 wie folgt: „Die aromatische Komplexität ist ganz einfach verblüffend, betörend, unübertroffen, die Dichte folgt nach, die Tiefe vor allem, das Tonische, Lebendige, die grosse Länge, die absolute Nähe zur Traube. Noch einmal einen Schritt weiter in Richtung des absoluten Weins, der besondere Emotionen vermittelt“. – 20/20
Antonio Galloni bewertete (01/2019) Château Pontet Canet 2016 wie folgt: „The 2016 Pontet-Canet is absolutely breathtaking. Powerful, ample and racy in the glass, the 2016 is one of the most exquisitely well-balanced young Pontet-Canets I can remember tasting. Savory, high-toned aromatics and brisk mineral notes lend energy and delineation as this vivid wonderfully alive wine opens up in the glass. The flavors are dark and incisive, but it is the wine’s total sense of harmony that is most compelling. All of the elements are simply in the right place. The 2016 is tremendous. It’s as simple as that. As is often the case, Pontet-Canet is one of the most singular wines in Bordeaux. A commitment to biodynamic farming, sustainability across the entire estate more broadly, and the adoption of new concepts for Bordeaux, such as aging a portion of the wine in terra cotta, set Pontet-Canet apart from other properties in Pauillac and the Left Bank.“ 99 Punkte
The Wine Enthusiast bewertete (05/2019) Château Pontet Canet 2016 wie folgt: „A voluptuous wine, this is rich and fruity yet properly balanced by a magnificent structure. Pure, crisp and packed with a black currant flavor, this will be a remarkable wine as it develops. Still young, it needs many years to develop. Don’t think about drinking before 2025..“ 100 Punkte
Decanter bewertete (10/2018) Château Pontet Canet 2016 wie folgt: „The 2016 is a vintage that shows off the best of Pontet, and is similar in feel to their 2010. Gorgeously rich right from the first nose, it opens stunningly in the glass, showing waves of tight black fruits, touches of redcurrant, liquorice and aniseed, fine tannins and mouthwatering salinity. It manages to remain balanced without losing the punch and concentration of Pauillac, rising up through the palate. It’s hard not to fall in love with this wine, and it will clearly age with grace and ease..“ 98 Punkte
