Lot 193 Details
CHÂTEAU PONTET-CANET 2016

Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
u. 3 x bn. 3 x scraped labels.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Pontet-Canet hits the ground running with a hedonic nose of Black Forest cake, crème de cassis and blueberry pie plus suggestions of candied violets, hoisin, chocolate mint, charcuteries and forest floor with a waft of star anise. Full-bodied, rich, profoundly layered and powerfully fruited, the palate is built like a brick house, with very firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and harmonious freshness, finishing with incredible length and depth. Still incredibly primary and yet already strutting so many layers, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this warrants the three-digit score in a few years' time. May 2020 Drink: 2023-2060 WA 98+

3 bts.    per lot $500 - $700
