(Pontet Canet) Beautiful precision and elegance. Reminded me of a baby '00 LLC. Laser-like focus and sweet cassis licoricey fruit. Lots of mineral and cigar box on the nose with very sweet fruit and ripe tannins. Like an undualting wavelength though opening and closing every five minutes . . . but man what fruit. Tremendous juice.

(Pontet Canet) This showed well but not as well as it could. Maybe this was closing down. Classic Pauillac nose of tar, leather, tobacco and a melange of red and black fruits. Even some sweet corn after five minutes in the glass. Dense and delineated with ripe, fat, silky fruit. Very finesse. Fruit takes over your mouth. Good inner mouth aromas and great length.

Either this is overrated - or the 2004 is underrated - because I've recently had multiple bottles of both, and for all the hype of the 2000, the '04 is as well made and delivers at least as much enjoyment. Frankly, the '04 actually struck me as having more nuance and character.

Double decanted an hour ahead of an afternoon Bordeaux tasting. Similar notes to last time as the wine still read relatively young and dark-fruited with a long finish, structure, a heady nose and power. I felt it showed better than an 00 Mouton, which was super smooth and integrated but felt at its plateau, and did very well v the other 2000s in the group, namely Cos, d’Issan, GPL. A great showing overall.

Purchased from local retail. Must have been kept very well. Still young. Decanted for a total of 10 hours and it really needed it. I think this wine needs another 10 years to show its true colours.

Medium garnet.
I’m not getting much primary fruit on the nose, mainly earth & cedar.
Dried fruit, earth & meaty palate.
Still drinking well.
