Description:
ChateauPontet Canet2005
Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe
"Possibly the youngest wine of all the 2005 MĂ©docs in terms of its evolution, at age 10 the inky purple 2005 Pontet-Canet tastes more like a two-year-old wine. Loads of pure blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit are present along with a hint of licorice and background oak. It is full-bodied, ripe, and excruciatingly fresh, vigorous and exuberant. This is a tour de force, and a sensational effort that rivals the first growths. Give it another 5-10 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 30-40 years." R. Parker for TWA, 97+ pts. 06/15
