Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 26, 2008 - Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2005 vintage tasting and dinner (Conrad Interntational, Singapore): UGC dinner. I am a great Pontet Canet fan, but I must this was disappointing after the absolutely stupendous 2005 tasted in the afternoon and the really delicious 2003 that I last had. Slight mushroomy nose, with some wet, mossy stone. On the palate, very distinct 2001 character in the tight, grippy tannins and slightly sour acid. Enough structure to go on for years, but like the last poster, I would ask "where is the fruit?" Well made as always, but this is in deep sleep at the moment and needs lots and lots of time.
