Chateau Pontet-Canet 2016

Château Pontet-Canet 2016

気品と力強さが、高い次元で釣り合う。

完熟したカベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンが生む深い果実味に、精緻なタンニンと美しい酸が調和した2016年。外観は深く濃い色調で、香りは力強く複雑ながら、フレッシュさと清澄な純度が際立ちます。アタックは堂々としており、凝縮感に富んだ骨格が全体を支える構成。肉厚かつ緻密なタンニンが、豊かで風格ある余韻を描きます。ビオディナミ栽培由来の純度と、長期熟成の潜在力を備えた一本です。

Tasting note

The appearance is deep and dark in color, and the aroma is powerful and complex, with outstanding freshness and clarity. The attack is imposing, with a concentrated structure supporting the whole. The tannins are thick, dense and extremely refined, and the finish is rich and imposing. This wine is truly legendary, and the elegance and power typical of the 2016 vintage embodies a level of perfection that approaches the ideal of ``perfection.''
