  December 25, 2011 - I just love mature BDX and this is exactly what it is. Bottle was perfect with a fill into the neck. Decanted for sediment and drank over dinner. Dark red color with no visible hint of heavy bricking. Nonetheless, the wine is fully mature but isn't in any risk of near-term decline. Quintessential graves with lovely restrained smoke, cherry tobacco and sweet cassis. This wine isn't about complexity or power, it is about feel and layering. If you're a claret fan, you'll love how Pape Clement dealt with the heat of this vintage.
