Score 94-96/100 · Jeb Dunnuck

Coming from the genius of Jonathan Maltus as well as consultant Thomas Duclos, the 2018 Château Pontet Labrie is a classic blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from the upper limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. It has a mineral-laced style as well as awesome notes of chocolate black fruits, baking spice, chocolate, and liquid violets. Deep, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and impressively balanced, it shows the slightly more restrained style of all these 2018s from Maltus and is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age, and drink nicely for 15+ years or more.
