The 2019 Pontet-Canet presents an expressive bouquet of plummy fruit, kirsch, dried herbs, and peonies. On the palate, it is full-bodied, ample, and seamless, with melting tannins, succulent acidity, and a long, liqueured finish. Tasted twice, it is a wine that some may find somewhat perplexing. In a blind tasting, it might be more easily placed in Gigondas than Pauillac.
While stylistic diversity undoubtedly enriches every appellation, there is some doubt whether this is the most compelling expression of a Cabernet-based blend from this part of Bordeaux. With an alcohol content of 13.7%, about 35% of the production was matured in amphorae, which likely contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic character.
