Probably missed the drinking window on this one but so fun to pull the cork on thanksgiving with my dad - his favorite Bordeaux house and the bottle that propelled him (and thus me) on the path of the wine-obsessed. It had a bit of life remaining and actually came back to life after some time in the decanter.

I can’t drink enough of this. Textbook Graves (per everything I read of the old critics). Roasted fruit, cedar-edged nose. Broad but not heavy palate. Hot stones in the finish. Just awesome stuff with years and years to go.

Another great btl of 70 PC. Classic Graves personality showing sweet red fruits, cedar, saddle leather, cigar ash, mineral, iron & dried herbs. Fully mature that should drink well for many years.

Beautifully drinking wine showing the classic Graves notes. Red fruits of cherry & plum, saddle leather, earth, brown spices & tobacco with refreshing acidity.

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.

Classic older Graves showing soft, sweet core of red & black fruits, cedar, leather, tobacco & crushed rock. Fully mature but still holding, an interesting & enjoyable wine to drink.
