Drinking beautifully right now. Still youthful with a ruby/purple colour in the class. Notes of cassis, dark currants, graphite, liqourice subtle tobacco and mocha. 2005 was an intense year and this is certainly more of a masculine Pontet-Canet. It should be held for another 5-8 years . Very structured with a remarkable finish.
