Score 86/100 · Drink 1990-2003, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

A good vintage for Pontet-Canet, the 1983 is moderately dark ruby in color, with a sweet, ripe black currant fruitiness, and briery, concentrated flavors that linger on the palate. The tannins have melted away faster than I would have thought. Anticipated maturity: Now-2003. Last tasted, 4/90.
