Score 89/100 · Drink 2015-2027, Robert Parker, Jun 2015

Grand Pontet’s 2005 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, plenty of cassis and black cherry fruit, some licorice and sweet ripe tannin. Drink this medium to full-bodied wine over the next 10-12 years.

Score 17/20 · Drink 2009-2020, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Feb 2008

Sweet vanilla-edged black cherry. Richly fragrant and inviting. Then fine savoury, mineral depth. Fine tense structure. Dense, aromatic mid palate and long fresh finish. Very young but very well defined. (JH)

Score 14.5/20 · Drink 2010-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2006

Purple. Floral, almost soapy aromas. Sweet and then a bit brutal and exaggerated. Lots of jagged tannin but not fresh fruity acid. Not really St-Émilion – although this may still have been undergoing malolactic fermentation. (JR)
