Falstaff - 99

The 2018 Pontet Canet is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. It was aged in 55% oak barriques and 45% amphorae. Deep garnet-purple colored, it explodes from the glass with an atomic perfume of raspberry pie, blackcurrant pastilles, rose oil and Chinese five spice, giving way to suggestions of cinnamon stick, dusty soil, pencil lead and underbrush.

About Château Pontet-Canet

Pontet-Canet's 80-hectare vineyard is planted to approximately two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot, along with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The estate's half-century-old vines benefit from the gravelly, well-draining Pauillac soil.
