Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, France 2022 Alexander Valley Medium-bodied with notes of blackcurrantA Fifth Growth of Pauillac, biodynamically farmed and one of the most consistent overperformers in Bordeaux. The 2022 Pontet Canet is profound and vibrant, with cassis, graphite, iodine, sweet tobacco and crushed stone over massive yet refined, natural tannins. James Suckling 99 points.
