this bottle of 2005 Château Pontet Canet was just about pure perfection in a glass
Incredibly concentrated and full-bodied on the palate
black cherries and ripe plum are complimented with hints of cassis
Situated on eight acres in Coombsville
but it is a good choice for current drinking
2020 Sine Qua Non Distenta II Syrah Italian New this bottle of 2005 Château"Tons of red, blue, and black fruits as well as peppery herbs and liquid violet like nuances emerge from the 2020 Syrah Distenta II, a full bodied, concentrated, remarkably balanced barrel sample that's based on 83% Syrah, 7. 5% Grenache, and the rest Mourvdre, Petite Sirah, Muscat, and Petit Manseng. I love its mid palate, it has ripe, sweet tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It's unquestionably a brilliant wine in the making." 97 99 100 Jeb Dunnuck
