The 2004 Château Pontet-Canet suggests aromas of black fruits, cedar, cigar box, and damp leaves. It is a plush and concentrated wine, displaying a fruit opulence that defies the difficulties of the vintage. On the palate, black currants, crème de cassis, tobacco, and earthy notes contribute to the richness. The finish is long, marked by robust and gritty tannins. A truly enjoyable Bordeaux from a year that might have been overshadowed by the acclaimed 2003 and 2005 vintages.
