Disappointing. Over-acid. Not enough to enjoy.

Gave a lot of time to this Pontet Canet 2001. Nose is jammy black current, soft. Cut grass coming out almost dominant.
Grassy and earthy in mouth, disappointement comes from not enough fruit coming out. Feels like Cabernet not fully ripe going in!
Overall average claret, capped at this stage. In the end not enough fruit throughput it’s life.

1984 Château Léoville Las Cases

First time I am having a wine from that vintage, which has such poor reputation...
I found this Las Cases had plenty of qualities, yes, true my expectations were in fact low.. Nice nose, to me a slighter lighter version of the 1988. Medium body, now a bit light absolutely past its peak but a lovely aged Bordeaux nonetheless and considering its price, I don't regret making the experiment. What I am learning yet again is the consistency of Las Cases Chateau to deliver high quality throughout the years. Impressive consistency.
