2015 Château Pontet-Canet
Community Tasting Note
Gdubya Likes this wine:
92 Points
Saturday, March 21, 2020 - Decantered at 3pm. Drank over 2-5 hours later.
Big whack of cherry on the nose. A bit missing from the mid palate. Slightly drying tannins. Nice, but not spectacular. Probably needed a longer decant. 92+
Note to self. Don’t try another bottle until 2025
