Chateau Pontet Canet 2005 (12 Bottles/OWC) (RP 97+, JS 96)

  Red Wine from Bordeaux, France

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. Drink 2020-2065.  “Robert Parker”
