Score 77/100 · Drink 1990, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The 1966 Pontet-Canet is a lean styled, tight, hard wine that to this day remains firm and closed. It is also beginning to lose its fruit. The wine is moderately ruby, with some amber, a restrained, cedary, black currant bouquet, and an austere, astringent finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/90.
