Vinous
par Antonio Galloni le 27/04/2016
The 2015 Grand-Pontet is a decidedly ripe, extracted Saint-Émilion with huge, searing tannins and considerable ripeness. Bittersweet chocolate, spice, black cherry, violet and menthol all meld together. The 2015 is intense and deep, but also quite tannic. If the 2015 settles down during its aging, it may come in closer to the top end of my projected range. Today all the elements aren't completely put together.
