Not sure which has changed since my first bottle: my palate or the wine. Just starting to pick up some tertiary aromas and flavors. Red fruits are muted but give some lingering sweetness. I am going to hold off for a while, it because it wasn’t good but because I’m excited to see where this is in a few years.

This was my first pape clement, so read this with a skeptical mindset. My first thought on the nose was ‘when did Caymus start make wine in France?” Heavy oak influence throughout. Tannins were quite dry. Overall I guess we enjoyed it, but do not plan to reload. For $80 there are better options.
Enjoyable, prototypical Pinot Bianco. Crushed flowers, candied pear and lemon. Very soft mouthfeel without being flabby. Good but not great value at $28. Would buy again.
