On the nose, this Howell Mountain beauty has chocolate, spice and mint accents on a core of red and black fruit. The flavors are the same/similar, and the tannins are well-integrated and balanced perfectly with acid, fruit and alc (13.5% abv). Full-bodied with a great, silky texture. The finish is long and dry, with notes of chalk and raspberries. An awesome bottle, drinking well now but this wine will also age well. — 9 years ago

Classic Chenin Blanc aromas of ginger, marmalade & tons of flinty minerality. On the palate there's a slight effervescent with a mineral core. — 8 years ago

Love this vintage of Pape Clement from a pristine btl showing the classic 70 Graves with an intoxicating nose of black plum fruits, cigar ash, mineral, cedar, iron, leather & dried herbs. — 8 years ago
