Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Pape Clement has a pure and refined bouquet, perhaps not with the same charm and personality of say Domaine de Chevalier or Haut-Bailly, yet with panache and class, kirsch and touches of blue fruit laced with cedar and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of menthol on the entry. It is a slightly more exotic take on the vintage compared to its peers, yet there is commendable substance and spiciness on the finish that keeps you coming back. Tasted February 2017.
Very dark core. Smells dark and oaky, with a dark-chocolate bitter-sweet quality. On the palate, those same qualities, intense and a bit thick in texture. Bitter finish. (JH)
Sweet and a little bit brutal on the nose. Lots of ambition but not (yet?) much subtlety. Not really in tune with the character of the vintage. (JR)
