Description
Based on an 80/20 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the upper limestone plateau, the 2019 Château Pontet Labrie offers a more reticent, tight, almost closed style that slowly gives up notes of savory darker cherries, mulberries, iron, crushed stone, and graphite. It’s beautiful on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness and ripe yet present tannins, yet this beauty deserves at least 4-5 years of bottle age and is going to evolve for upwards of two decades.
