Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 26, 2008 - Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2005 vintage tasting and dinner (Conrad Interntational, Singapore): UGC tasting. Totally agree with the last poster - great now, but with the potential to be absolutely fantastic. Classic Pauillac with wonderful, wonderful purity of blackcurrant fruit. Great balance, with a tremendous freshness and good, firm tannins. Very clean, extremely focused. A little watery tinge on the finish disturbed me slightly. Still, my notes are littered with exclamation marks with this one. So very primary now, but with so many good things going on. Best Pontet Canet I've ever tried by quite a distance.
