A classic St.-Emilion, the 2010 from Grand-Pontet is dense purple and ripe, with loads of black cherry, plum, fig and vanillin notes. The wine has a full-bodied yet luscious and succulent mid-palate that gives it accessibility now despite some elevated tannins in the long finish. It is well-made and generally one of the better values of St.-Emilion. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028.
Nicely constructed. Ripe and sweet on the nose and attack but with balancing freshness. Well integrated toasted oak. Long finish. Drink 2016-2025. James Lawther, decanter.com
