Château Pontet-Canet 2018 – Pauillac Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, aromatic and offers a beautiful purity of the fruit, pulpiness/juiciness as well as a good maturity of the fruit. It reveals notes of fleshy/juicy/bright redcurrant, crushed raspberry and small notes of fleshy/juicy plum associated with touches of violet, bright red fruits as well as fine hints of rose, lilac, discreet hints of liquorice and spices. The palate is fruity, ample, bewitching, well-balanced and offers juiciness, a good definition, an acidulous frame, a beautiful dimension, a multi-layer side, gourmandize, suavity, tension, a certain straightness (full of finesse), richness, a superb bright/pulpy fruit and a beautiful purity of the fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright redcurrant, crushed raspberry and small notes of juicy/pulpy wild strawberry associated with touches of bright cassis, hints of tonka bean, almond and a subtle hint of Badiane. Tannins are fine, racy and offers a certain chewiness. A very fine chew on the persistence. A beautiful evolution on the nose and in the glass.
