A savory red blend from Pessac-Léognan, 70% Merlot and 30% Cab Sauv and since it is aged more than 50% of the Merlot on terracota amphorae the tannins are as silky and gentle as it can get. Velvety and fresh mouthfeel. Already started to pick its prime time. Drinking now or within the next 3 years will just as great! — 7 months ago

90+, very young! First time I had a Bordeaux with some saltiness in the taste. The nose stands out. An elegant fresh wine with stony minerality and very young fruit! Needs time… — 3 years ago

Profond, juste ce qui faut de longueur en bouche mais pas trop pour apprécier la nourriture et enchainer d'autres plats et d'autres vins.

Did not know what to expect but trying to drink my cellar down and have to open this old stuff. Opened, decanted and but back in the bottle about 4 hours before dinner. Tasted when first opened and it seemed very light and not much there. When we poured it for dinner it had opened, very integrated, had a lot going on without that old wine funk. Very enjoyable but did seem to lose some fruit a couple of hours later. RP rated this wine a 98+ and considered it along with Haut Brion as the wines of the vintage. Paid $22.95 back in the day. — 7 years ago

Young but still approachable with a short decant. I decanted for 30 minutes.

Cherry, strawberry and leather on the palate.

Good now with potential to be a few points better. — 8 years ago

K&L notes as follows, Grand Pontet is an interesting property, positioned in the neighborhood of other stars of the appellation such as Châteaux Canon, Beau-Séjour-Bécot and Clos Fourtet. It is, however, a small estate, a mere 14 hectares, and its prices are much better than some of its more prestigious neighbors. In 1980 it was purchased by Gerard and Dominique Bécot, owners of the neighboring Beau-Séjour-Bécot. They have applied the same high standards to both Châteaux in their possession, and their winemaking team crafts Grand Pontet alongside the Beau-Séjour-Bécot wines. Recently purchased in 2021 by Domaines Clarence Dillon (Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion, et al.), the property was combined with and incorporated into Château Quintus. Full-bodied and luscious, this Grand Pontet is laden with ripe blackberry fruits, savory tobacco, licorice notes, and ripe, softened tannins. It’s seamless and bold, not shy. It’s going to require something decadent to pair with, such as filet mignon or some other black-tie dish with plenty of flavor and rich umami presence. — 3 years ago

Really a Grand Vin de Bordeaux. You know that a flower was named after this wine? The Rose Demoiselles de Larrivet Haut Brion. How cool is that? — 7 years ago

Deep honeyed with complex nutty flavor. Balanced with plenty of life left. The complexity ratio is SB and Semillion is in full flower. One of Woltners best even at 37 years of age. — 10 years ago
