Château Pontet-Canet 2022 – Pauillac, Grand Cru Classé

The nose is well-built, fresh, chiselled, precise, offering racy power / in accuracy as well as a lovely texture. Beautifully complex and juicy. We find notes of juicy wild cassis, raspberry, violet and lily associated with touches of small brilliant red fruits, discreet hints of green pepper, fresh blond tobacco as well as a hint of cumin and spices. The palate is well-built, supple, fresh, elegant, nicely chiseled and offers a very nice grain and texture. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, violet and more lightly roasted-elegant raspberry, combined with touches of small brilliant red fruits as well as hints of cardamom, graphene, coffee, toast, infusion and elegant darkness. The tannins are well-built, elegant, racy, chalky. A lovely, discreet hint of sappy. Good depth, especially on the finish.
