2015 Château Pontet-Canet
Community Tasting Note

95 Points
Wednesday, August 14, 2019 - Decant for at least 4 hours and be rewarded with early access to delicious and elegant black currants, tobacco, fine tannins, and a lifted, lengthy finish. Power, fruit, structure, and velvety mouth-feel all come together after 6 hours, though your early access pass doesn't get you the complexity that'll be coming in the years ahead. If you have several bottles, it's no crime to pop one open now and check it out.
