2003 Château Pape Clément

Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 11, 2009 - Tried this as pondered buying more. Decanted upon arrival and then sampled and drunk over the following 2 to 2.5 hours. I can't honestly say this ever really came alive or performed. Nothing wrong with it but not giving much. Comments below about monolithic, unevolved strike me as correct. Clearly a lot of fruit and sweet tannin, but not yet lush like California nor showing the smoke that one looks for in aged Graves. I probably will not buy more, but look forward to my remaining 5 bottles years from now.
