Pontet Canet 1996 龐特卡內古堡 1996

Chateau Pontet Canet is located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation, just south of chateaux Mouton Rothschild and d'Armailhac. It has the poor gravelly soil typical of the greatest vineyards. In fact, the soil has so much gravel and sand that it is difficult to imagine that anything could grow there at all. The 80-hectare (200 acres) estate is predominately planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, the signature variety for the great wines of Pauillac. This demanding grape is perfectly adapted to Pauillac's climate and soil. It produces full-bodied, well-structured, long-lived wines famous for their finesse and elegance.

Pontet Canet has always been a legendary Medoc. It is deep ruby-red, crimson, and sometimes almost black colour and has a characteristic bouquet of black fruit (especially blackcurrant), liquorice, and prune as well as fig, cedar, and sometimes cocoa overtones. Pontet-Canet combines power and elegance, as well as concentration and fullness on the palate. Rather sinewy in style, Pontet-Canet is clearly a classical wine with a tannic structure that provides excellent ageing potential.

This particular wine is a blend of classic Bordeaux grape varieties, meticulously selected from the estate's vineyards. The terroir of Pauillac, with its gravelly soils and maritime influence, lends unique characteristics to the wine.

Tasting Notes:

Pontet Canet位於波爾多帕約亞克產區的中心地帶，緊鄰穆頓·羅斯柴爾德酒莊和達瑪雅克酒莊。它擁有最頂級葡萄園所典型的貧瘠的砂礫土壤。事實上，土壤中有如此多的礫石和沙子，很難想像在那裡能夠生長出什麼。這個佔地80公頃（200英畝）的莊園主要種植赤霞珠葡萄，這是帕約亞克頂級葡萄酒的標誌品種。這種高要求的葡萄完美地適應了帕約亞克的氣候和土壤。它產生出具有韻味和優雅的豐滿、結構完整和長壽的葡萄酒。

Pontet Canet一直是梅多克地區的傳奇酒莊。它呈現出深紅寶石、深紅色和有時幾乎黑色的色彩，具有黑色水果（尤其是黑醋栗）、甘草和李子香氣，以及無花果、雪松和有時還有可可的餘味。 Pontet Canet集結了力量與優雅，濃鬱與豐滿於一身。 Pontet Canet的風格較為有力，顯然是一款具有優秀陳年潛力的經典葡萄酒，其單寧結構出色。

這款特別的葡萄酒是由精心挑選的經典波爾多葡萄品種混釀而成，這些葡萄來自莊園的葡萄園。帕約亞克的風土條件，其礫石土壤和海洋氣候的影響，賦予了葡萄酒獨特的特徵。
