Chateau Pontet Canet, Pauillac 0,75ltr.
97/100 Punten Jeff Leve
Pontet-Canet heeft een zwoele rijkheid, is romig en fruitig met een ongekende puurheid en vitaliteit . Een monumentale wijn met een briljant smaakpalet, die je bijna de adem beneemt. De wijn heeft een rijp zwarte bessen aroma, is dieprood van kleur met schitterend geïntegreerde zachte tannines. Een grand seigneur die zijn status als 5e cru allang is ontstegen.
Deep purple with a blue hue in color, the wine is almost opaque in color. Cassis, flowers, plums, licorice, and tobacco leaf aromas adorn the perfume. It is already clear that with this wine, it is the purity in the fruit that stands out. The palate is equally pure, with its layers of glycerin-filled blackberries, and plums. The wine is lush, as well as refined. The finish meshes concentration with elegance, power with purity, lift and length. The peppery, spicy note, along with the resounding minty-freshness, and a touch of anise in the long, finish is what stands out here. There is no sensation of heat or over ripeness in this wine in the mid-palate or in the finish. The wine blends 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot.14.7% ABV, pH 3.8. Harvesting took place September 8 – September 28. This is longest harvest and the earliest harvest in the history of the estate. The wine is aging in a combination of 50% new, French oak, and 35% Amphora. Pontet Canet is often a slow starter in barrel. My score could go higher when the wine is in bottle. Drink from 2028-2060. 96-98 Pts.
