CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
This was the very end of the last bottle so hard to get a good look at this wine. There’s an initial smoky fragrance that carries through on the palate. Tannins offering a good deal of friction but they are ripe and not too dry. (JH)
Jeb Dunnuck
Always showing well, this bottle of 2005 Château Pontet Canet was just about pure perfection in a glass. Still youthful ruby/purple-hued, with a gorgeous core of pure cassis and darker currant fruits, its full-bodied and has a stacked mid-palate, building tannins, and textbook Pauillac graphite, lead pencil, and subtle tobacco and cedar aromas and flavors. Its a big, rich, powerful 2005 with flawlessly integrated tannins, remarkable purity, and a finish that wont quit. While its still another 5-10 years away from being completely mature, it unquestionably offers incredible pleasure today.
