Community Tasting Note

gouldcampbell77 Likes this wine:

Monday, December 6, 2021 - Decanted 2 hrs. Dark reddy garnet and a mature nose of fully ripe dark fruits, olives and compost. Only medium weight on the palate but with loads of cool dark concentrated fruit and quite a tannic charge still. Granted this did get better as the evening wore on so I think there's room for upside here.

Have to admit this was a bit of a let down, given the reviews. A good wine for sure but it just seems a bit old-school and very dry and unforgiving at the moment. Typical 2005? Maybe it just needs more time. Much prefer the Pontet Canet '05 at this stage (at half the price).
