2005 Château Pontet-Canet
Community Tasting Note
TWSA Does not like this wine:
87 Points
Wednesday, March 20, 2024 - Nose: blackcurrant, hints of nail polish, tobacco leaves
Notes: the 2005 vintage has always been and probably will continue to be (at least for another decade) mysterious, full, well structured and unready. Very jam like and tannic still, this wine is not very enjoyable right now. Personally I have never been a fan of Pontet Canet and given this great vintage I am still unable to spot anything interesting or promising at this very moment, I think this may require another 10 years to develop and mature so I would advise owner of this bottle to lay it down and forget about it for a while.
Drink: 2034+
Rating: 87
