Tasting note
2019 年的龐德格力散發出誘人的黑果與花香交疊:紫羅蘭、玫瑰花瓣伴隨黑加侖、黑莓與熟黑櫻桃,後段有雪松、石墨與一抹煙燻。入口飽滿但不笨重,果味濃郁層次分明,酸度鮮明為酒體帶來活力,單寧細緻而有力量,口感柔滑又有結構感,尾韻悠長。酒莊採手工分選與自然酵母發酵,約四週浸皮,完成桶中乳酸發酵並於法國橡木(含新舊桶與部分陶罐)陳釀約18個月。莊園約81公頃,通過有機與生物動力認證,位於碎石礫石土壤上,採收集中於九月底到十月初,既有力量也保有優雅,是能夠陳放也能當下醒酒品嚐的經典波爾多風貌。
A deeply coloured Pauillac with a perfumed, layered bouquet: violets and dried rose sit over a core of cassis, blackberries and black cherry, with graphite, cedar and subtle smoky notes. On the palate the wine is concentrated and vibrant — layers of dark fruit, spice and savory detail unfold against fine-grained, ripe tannins and bright, balancing acidity. The texture is velvet-edged yet structured, leading to an impressively long, fragrant finish. Producer notes highlight manual sorting, fermentations with indigenous yeasts, a ca. four-week maceration and malolactic in vats; the 2019 spent roughly 18 months maturing in French oak (this vintage used a mix of new and older barrels and amphora). The estate farms 81 ha certified organic and biodynamic on Quaternary gravel soils; harvest ran from late September into October, producing one of Pontet‑Canet’s most voluptuous yet refined bottlings.
