CHÂTEAU PAPE CLEMENT 2000
Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn.2 x marked labels. 2 x scraped capsules.
This wine stands out as a sensational effort just a few years away from full maturity. A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine displays loads of scorched earth and smoky barbecue scents along with blueberry, black raspberry and black currant. The wine is expansive, has a savory, broad palate and a full-bodied mouthfeel, yet possesses vivid purity and uplift. The tannins are still present, but they are sweet and well-integrated. This wine should hit full maturity in another year or two and last for at least 20 more years. June 2010 WA 96
