It is attractive, seductive even, yet it is cut from a totally different cloth to other wines in the flight of Pauillacs. The palate steers it back towards Bordeaux, albeit not all the way. Grainy tannins, mulberry and game, almost Syrah-like in style. Quite powerful, this has a chewy finish with some dry tannins. Perplexing. Fascinating. Sui generis. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Kelly, Robert Parker, April 2022 - 93P\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-fcyAHI hpPVPA\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2019 Pontet-Canet offers up an expressive bouquet of plummy fruit, kirsch, dried herbs and peonies. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and seamless, with melting tannins, succulent acids, and a long, liqueured finish. Tasted twice, it's a wine I find somewhat perplexing: in a blind tasting, I might be more inclined to place it in Gigondas than Pauillac. I'm far from dogmatic when it comes to what the French call \"typicité,\" and stylistic diversity surely enriches every appellation; but by the same token, I'm not convinced that this is the most compelling aesthetic that a Cabernet-based blend from this part of Bordeaux can realize. Checking in at 13.7% alcohol, some 35% of the production was matured in amphorae, which no doubt contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-fcyAHI hpPVPA\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-fcyAHI hpPVPA\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet is a prestigious wine estate located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France.
