The tannins are sapid
with nuances of peach skins
one of the greatest vintages from this great chateau
Recalls the herbal and balmy aromas of the homonymous beach
The citrus also persists as lemon zest and there’s a touch of peppery ginger as punctuation
Hedges Family Estate La Haute Cuvee, Red Mountain, USA 2019 Château Pontet-Canet The tannins are sapidSpicy red fruits, cedarwood, tobacco, cigar, and chocolate notes all emerge from the 2019 La Haute Cuve, a medium to full bodied, ripe, nicely balanced red with fine tannins, good mid palate depth, and outstanding length. A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal parts Petit Verdot and Merlot, it's drinking nicely today yet should have a good decade of longevity. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
