Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 4, 2010 - 4 Blind Bordeaux: Of the 4 wines noted in this little event, this was the biggest surprise but not necessarily in a good way. I've had relatively young Pontet Canet before and they always seemed to show some pretty nice elements that give you a hint of what's to come down the road but this bottle, while showing some nice ripe fruit flavors, became quite a tannic mess on the finish. Once you get past mid-palate, a wall of tannins is thrown up that stops everything in it's tracks. Over half the bottle remains for today so once I re-taste at the 24 hour mark I'll update the note.

Update from second day: Still doesn't really impress or show to the level that I would expect from Pontet-Canet. Where's the structure that will tell me that this wine will eventually be really nice?
