Château Grand-Pontet--Vintage 2000
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé
Tasting Note: A blend of 75 Merlot, 15 Cabernet Franc, and 10 Cabernet Sauvignon produced from modest yields of 30 hectolitres per hectare, this opaque purple-coloured, fat, ripe, exotic, flamboyant effort (coffee, plums, vanilla, and sweet black cherries galore) is a St.-Emilion fruit-bomb made in a modern style. With loads of character, glycerin, fruit, and concentration, this full-bodied, "stacked and packed" wine will be adored by consumers! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
