Description
2011 Château Pontet-Canet is a standout in a challenging vintage, earning praise (92–94/100) for its balance, structure, and classic Pauillac character. Critics highlight its aromatic depth, with notes of blackcurrant, graphite, licorice, and fresh herbs, alongside subtle floral and cedar undertones. While less opulent than the legendary 2009 or 2010, it compensates with elegance and precision, featuring a medium-to-full body, velvety tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
Robert Parker lauded its "dense, purple-hued richness", while James Suckling admired its "vibrant fruit and firm yet polished structure." Wine Spectator emphasized its core of dark plum and blackberry, framed by integrated tannins, and Jancis Robinson noted its freshness and mid-term aging potential. The wine’s biodynamic approach likely contributed to its purity and focus, despite the vintage’s heat spikes.
Best from 2022 onward, it’s a refined, age-worthy Pauillac that captures the estate’s signature minerality and restraint—ideal for collectors who appreciate terroir-driven claret over sheer power. A strong effort in an uneven year, proving Pontet-Canet’s consistency.
2011年龐特卡內酒莊（Château Pontet-Canet）在一個充滿挑戰的年份中脫穎而出，憑藉其平衡的結構與經典波雅克風格，獲得酒評家92-94分的高度評價。這款酒展現出深邃的香氣層次，散發黑醋栗、石墨、甘草與新鮮草本氣息，並帶有細膩的花香與雪松底蘊。雖然不及傳奇的2009或2010年份那般豐腴，卻以優雅精準的風格取勝，酒體中等至飽滿，單寧如天鵝絨般柔滑，尾韻悠長且充滿礦物質感。
羅伯特·帕克（Robert Parker）盛讚其「濃郁的紫紅色澤與豐富層次」，詹姆斯·薩克林（James Suckling）則欣賞其「鮮活的果香與堅實卻細膩的結構」。《葡萄酒觀察家》（Wine Spectator）強調其黑李與黑莓的核心風味，搭配融合度極佳的單寧；傑西斯·羅賓遜（Jancis Robinson）則指出其鮮明活力與陳年潛力。酒莊採用的生物動力法，可能賦予了這款酒純淨而集中的特質，克服了該年份高溫的考驗。
此酒自2022年進入適飲期，是一款細緻且具陳年實力的波雅克佳釀，完美體現酒莊標誌性的風土礦物感與內斂風格——特別適合鍾情於「風土主導型波爾多」而非單純強勁口感的收藏家。在這個表現參差的年份中，龐特卡內再次以這款佳作證明其穩定的品質。
