Earthy and berry aroma. Smooth and velvety with tastes of black currant, plum, and cherry. Dusty and chalky with a mouth coating feel. Slightly dry and spicy with a lingering finish. — 5 years ago

Bacon fat, black plum. Ripe, smooth, bold. low acid, chalky tannin finish. Kind of simple, needing an extravagant spicy dish to match. Maybe Indian food. — 9 years ago

2011: all varieties. Meaty, lavender, garden herbs, smoky, but still very vibrant red fruit. Lovely vibrancy of red fruit and all Mouvedre and Grenache aromatics. Sweet fruit, juicy acidity, hot indian spice and liquorice. Plum, cherry, spiced. Quite ready now. — 11 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

Dusty plum on the nose. Plum , blackberry, mint mid-palate. Decanted 30 min, but would do an hour+ in retrospect. Really complex wine. That got much better over time! — 9 years ago

9.1

Open for about a hour. Nose of plum, tobacco, eucalyptus, graphite, cedar, and marscapone. Balckberry and red currant give a nod to the Cabernet dominate blend, which finishes with mouth coating tannin and persistence. Drink or hold. — 8 years ago

9.8

A softened ruby color. Beautiful balance, everything in harmony. Wet earth, raspberry, cinnamon, a whiff of truffle, intoxicating nose. So much ripe, fresh red fruit on the palate. Such soft tannins, damson plum, a mineral streak running through. Drinking a 15 year old wine for 15th anniversary of diabetes. This is splendid in the moment — 9 years ago
