Full-bodied with layers of ripe fruit and ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate in an encompassing yet always elegant and pure way. It’s succulent and unadulterated. Like crushed, perfectly ripened grapes. The length is rather endless. The tannins build. Fabulous young red. 35% in amphora and the rest in 50% new oak and 15% one-year oak. 65% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot, the rest cabernet franc and petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2028, but an absolute joy to taste now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, February 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Pontet-Canet is deep garnet-purple in color. It features notes of prunes, creme de cassis, and wilted roses, followed by suggestions of spice box, iron ore, Ceylon tea, and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is rich, concentrated, and seductive, with a racy backbone and ripe, fine-grained tannins supporting the complex, layered flavors, finishing long and minerally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, May 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FV","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":56615245250933,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle 1x75cl","offer_id":56615245283701,"sku":null,"price":82.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/chateau_pontet_canet_64824794-cb29-4616-a6cc-50ebd994619f.png?v=1668866603","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/chateau-pontet-canet-2019-pauillac-sale","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
