Brick on the rim but shading to plum at the core. The color, as all aspects of this wine, continued to evolve throughout the dinner. Bright cranberry, plum, and cassis on the attack followed by tobo, saddle leather and abundant graphite; a deliciously crunchy wine. This is completely seamless from bouquet to finish. Everything in its place and everything in harmony. Rich, complex, ever evolving. This is why we buy Bordeaux. Surprisingly little sediment, but gently decanted nonetheless. 13.5% alc. With beef tenderloin in rosemary butter. 12.25.23. Highly Recommended.

Tried the 2000 Pape Clement , in a masked tasting of classed wines from Pauillac and Graves. Bouquet , nearly explosive , so much happening. Was superb. Layers of complexity. Very intense long palate. Clearly the Merlot and Cabernet franc played a big part. Still in its drinking window, and will definitely stay here for some time.

(Pape Clement) Awesome nose. Oaky buy has enough fruit and nuance to counteract the oak. Exotic mushrooms, mint, smoke, black fruits, wet earth, green peppercorn. Really multidimensional. Flavors of red fruits & cocoa on the palate. Ripe and juicy with a stony finish. Gobs and gobs of fruit with no shortage of tannin.
(Château Pape Clément) Great, rich, berry nose; rich, complex, plush, juicy palate with velvety tannins; medium-plus finish

Ever so slightly corked with a great wine lurking beneath…

Youthful and greenish; gravel; tannins mostly resolved; light berry and lean balanced finish.
