CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Pontet Canet, raised in 35% amphora, changes remarkably over 10 minutes of aeration. Initially quite pungent and almost off-putting, it then coheres nicely, manifesting classic Pauillac scents of graphite and cedar, with less eucalyptus than the 2020 poured alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, fresh and vibrant. It's slightly grainy in texture, with a little chalkiness developing toward a sapid, Japanese nori-tinged finish. This is a very promising Pontet Canet.

57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. In a new bottle 400 g lighter than the old one. Lightly inky-textured on the palate. Again, very smooth tannins but no shortage of them! Ripe fruit and persistent. (JR)
