  (95-97 vvPunkte) 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot. Kräftiges Rubin. Reiffruchtige Nase, sehr tief, viel schwarze Johannisbeere, Pflaumen, florale Noten, Veilchen, ein Hauch Schokolade, auch Minze, super komplex. Im Gaumen straff, der Wein hat viel Druck, zeigt Konzentration, die Frucht ist ausgezeichnet gereift, knackig, getragen von Massen an Tanninen, diese umgarnen die Frucht wie ein Seidentuch, das hat viel Kraft und dennoch Finesse. Im Abgang sehr langanhaltend, endet frisch und mit delikater Würze. Ein sehr schöner, ausgewogener Pontet Canet. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Pontet-Canet) vvWine.ch

  The wine opens with flowers, tobacco leaf, currants, herbs, and a touch of spice. Medium/full-bodied, elegant, refined, fresh, and vibrant, there is a gorgeous sense of purity to the red fruits along with vivid freshness and a touch of spice in the endnote. The wine is aging in a combination of 50% new, French oak, and 35% Amphora. The wine is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2028-2055. Drink from 2028-2055. 94-96 Pts

  En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): From half bottle and decanted before serving.
  Liquorice, quite reticent initially then shows polished oak, a slightly green herbaceous note, a little peppery spice and, with vigorous agitation, a little black hued fruit. In the mouth it has medium plus intensity acidity, flavours of blackcurrant with a little cranberry note, broad, alcohol warmth is intrusive, tannins are drying, chalky and enamel stripping with a slightly green underpin, touches of peppery spice on the finish. Meh
