Oenophile - mostly old world. Enjoy Italian, French ( mostly Bordeaux, but learning...) and some Spanish. California is great but hard to get the good stuff in ...

An elegant lady. A little leather and Smokey in the nose. Well balanced and drinking now. At its prime - Finish is medium/long. — 10 days ago

The big gun. Other 05’s peaking too?

Bruce Leboff

Yup. But the horizontal evening showed the grand Puy Lacoste and CO’s has more life structure and Tanin than the Comtesse

Also Pontet Canet 2005 was the most youthful and promising.

Colour giving way to time - but elegant bouquet slightly floral and tobacco. Elegant with some Tannins left with a long finish. Lovely. — 2 days ago

Oops. 1982. Not 1952. Elegant

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

8.9

A bit disappointing. Strong start but fishes mid palate. Nice left bank nose. Dark fruit. A hint of cherry leather and chocolate. Tannins present but doesn’t feel like it will evolve to be a classic. — 9 days ago
