The aromas to this are really amazing, with a potpourri of spices and dried flowers, as well as redcurrants, sweet plums and even some peaches. Full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate in an encompassing yet always elegant and pure way. It’s succulent and unadulterated. Like crushed, perfectly ripened grapes. The length is rather endless. The tannins build. Fabulous young red. 35% in amphora and the rest in 50% new oak and 15% one-year oak. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot, the rest cabernet franc and petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2028, but an absolute joy to taste now.

Very lush out of the gate, with waves of gently mulled plum, blackberry and black currant fruit that roll through slowly, lined with alder, sweet tobacco, worn cedar and singed savory notes. Delivers a late tug of iron that's well-buried on a finish marked by lingering perfume, resulting in an end impression of a rich wine that's very light on its feet. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2036. — JM

The 2019 Pontet-Canet offers up an expressive bouquet of plummy fruit, kirsch, dried herbs and peonies. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and seamless, with melting tannins, succulent acids, and a long, liqueured finish. Tasted twice, it's a wine I find somewhat perplexing: in a blind tasting, I might be more inclined to place it in Gigondas than Pauillac. I'm far from dogmatic when it comes to what the French call "typicité," and stylistic diversity surely enriches every appellation; but by the same token, I'm not convinced that this is the most compelling aesthetic that a Cabernet-based blend from this part of Bordeaux can realize. Checking in at 13.7% alcohol, some 35% of the production was matured in amphorae, which no doubt contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic identity. <br/>

Château Pontet Canet
La leggendaria tenuta del Médoc Château Pontet-Canet è stata di proprietà della famiglia Tesseron per oltre quarant'anni. Tuttavia, la sua storia risale all'inizio del XVIII secolo, quando il governatore reale del Médoc Jean-François de Pontet raggruppò vari terreni di Pauillac. Appena un secolo dopo, l'Esposizione Universale del 1855 confermò lo status elitario dello Château, classificandolo come Cinquième Cru. Con 81 ettari di vigneti sui migliori terreni ghiaiosi della denominazione, Pontet-Canet è stata una delle prime tenute di Bordeaux a ottenere la certificazione biologica e biodinamica, a partire dall'annata 2010. Negli ultimi quarant'anni, nell'interesse della qualità e per riflettere al meglio il terroir unico dei vini, la famiglia ha ristrutturato la tenuta, apportando anche innovazioni tecniche alla vinificazione. Oggi l'azienda è gestita da Alfred Tesseron e produce vini Pauillac per antonomasia. Si tratta di rossi importanti, potenti e densi, con tannini morbidi e ampi, completati da intense fragranze di ribes nero e cedro. Entrambi con potenziali d’invecchiamento spettacolari, il secondo vino, Hauts de Pontet, e l'eccezionale Grand Vin, Pontet-Canet, sono realizzati in modo impeccabile.
