Château Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, 2004, 75clTasted at the Pontet Canet vertical in London, it seems clear that the 2004 Chteau Pontet Canet is predestined to always fall under the shadow of the 2005. Don't overlook this gem. The bouquet delivers pure blackberry, pencil lead and tobacco notes that are more generous than the 2005 at the momentopen for business, you might say. There is an element of dried herbs here, a hint of black tar. The palate is medium bodied and quite sturdy in the mouth,
