Château Pontet-Canet 2022 – Pauillac Grand Cru Classé

Nice ripe, fresh nose with a certain density and a nice infused or even concentrated side. There are notes of black boysenberry, dense black berries and slight notes of violet associated with touches of blue plums, hints of roasted red berries, camphor, sap, a fine minty side, lily, peony (in the background) as well as discreet hints of ripe almond, toast, a discreet hint of bass, aromatic herbs, sweet blond tobacco and a subtle note of bergamot. The palate is fruity, elegant, silky, delicate, intense, infused, concentrated, deep and offers a nice finesse of the grain, delicacy in the power, a nice freshness, minerality, a melodious side as well as a very nice aerial character in its concentration. The grain is powdery, velvety and powerful. On the palate this wine expresses notes of luscious/juicy blackberries, small bright black berries and slight notes of graphite, powdery chocolate associated with touches of roasted red berries as well as hints of blueberry, camphor, hazelnut toasted, vanilla and fine toasted notes. It is a nicely greedy, multi-layered wine that offers a very nice racy freshness. Superb silky and delicate touch. Presence of an imperceptible hint of coffee in the background. The tannins are soft, delicious and sapid
