Opened briefly - then closed down hard. Some clovey Brett nuances over a ripe plum-and-cassis nose. Still somewhat primary but no noticeable oak taint. Needs a decade to come around

Mature with some elegance, a great vintage for Pontet Canet maybe over shadowed by some other vintages such as 2000 and 2005- but a wine definitely worth it - ripe and pure, a success with a cote de boeuf 😋

Medium ruby garnet , narrow garnet rim . Quite deep spicy tobacco , cassis , redcurrant , grafite , smoky herbal notes on the nose. On the palate this is quite restrained and elegant , with a mix of red and dark fruits , cassis , blueberry , red currant , touch of menthol also . Good refreshing acidity and slightly gritty tannins , good length with grafite and tobacco stained finish . This is showing well and is probably at peak at the moment , no rush as it will stay here for another 8-10 years or so .

Textboox Bordeaux, toujours la meme constance avec PC. Café, cuir animal, graphite, une touche végétale. Belle longueur en bouche et en finale.

Not bad but would have been better a few years ago, wish I had the 2000!
