Bid on this magnum of 2004 Peter Michael "Les Pavots" Knights Valley Bordeaux Blend (1.5L) (93RP, 93ST, 90WS). Wine Advocate: "The 2004 Les Pavots is ripe and is a relatively similar blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine exhibits notes of forest floor intermixed with chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, espresso, and spice. It is strikingly more tannic, and closed compared to the 2005, which is almost the reverse of the vintage character. (RP)" (12/2007)

93 points Neal Martin's Wine Journal: "A deep garnet hue. This has a superb nose, incredibly pure with black cherries, violets, blueberries and cassis – very youthful but naturally, very tight. The palate is full-bodied, dense, muscular tannins, very concentrated with a liquorice-infused middle with a tannic, grippy, nigh brutish finish that develops a touch of dark chocolate with time in the glass. It needs at least ten years in bottle." (09/2008)

Int'l Wine Cellar
“Deep ruby. Sexy blackcurrant and boysenberry aromas with complicating tobacco and espresso tones. Lush and sweet, with dark fruit flavors, full body and dense, chewy tannins providing support. Turns silky with air, picking up more energetic red fruit tones and a light suggestion of iron. Finishes suave, focused and long, the blackcurrant note repeating. Luc Morlet compares this to the 2001 version. (ST)” (06/2007)

Wine Spectator
“Aromas of mint and bay leaf stand out amid the dark berry and cedar flavors. On the palate the tannins are raw, edgy and notably woody, yet this slowly comes together. Time may serve this well, as the fruit is fresh and the acidity lively. Best of three bottles. (JL, Web-2014)” (10/2019)
