The wine has a beautiful dark garnet color. The nose is deep, with good harmony between the young woodiness characteristic of their TDD barrels and the wine’s fresh fruit. Beautiful notes of licorice. On the palate, it develops quickly and is immediately very present. Consistent and balanced, it continues with tremendous length. The wine has a Pleasant finish with notes of cherries and also has the excellent potential to improve with age.

Tasting Notes
The powerfully structured palate has savory hints of licorice and ripe black juicy fruit which all combine in a dense, brooding, almost muscular mouth-feel. This cabernet dominated wine will surely gain even more weight, finesse and elegance. Drink now - 2030.

Producer On 81 hectares in Pauillac, Pontet Canet can trace its origins back to 1725. Owned by the Tesseron family, they have vastly improved the quality of Pontet Canet wines which are now full-bodied and packed with ripe, chewy, black fruits and finely integrated tannins. 5th Growth
Tasting Notes
100% biodynamic. Very attractive, full of creamy, blackcurrant fruit with grainy, ripe tannins. Layers of fruit swell across the palate whilst the finish is refreshing and full of concentrated fruit. A worthy addition to any cellar.
