The 2016 Chateau Pontet-Canet is a full-bodied, complex Bordeaux blend from Pauillac, France. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. On the nose, it has aromas of dark fruit, cassis, and blackberry, with hints of tobacco, cedar, and graphite. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, along with notes of tobacco, cedar, and graphite.
