January 19, 2016 - Another Epic Dinner in Zurich w/CVA, Benoit, Andrew...adding Paolo (Moevenpick 20/20): First experience with this chateau, CVA shared this bottle, impeccable condition, well stored high fill. Drank next to the 1949 Pape Clement. Open for about 30 minutes prior to drinking.
Color was medium red/brick. Opaque and cloudy, would have guessed this was older than the 49 by appearance.The nose really jumps out, started as a earth tones, morphing into sweet red fruits, plums, burnt sugar and smoke. Elegant mouthfeel, plate of red fruits, dried black cherry, leather and spice. Well into its tertiary phase, the wine is nuanced and elegant.
Really special wine, beautifully aged, fully mature. Great experience to drink this especially against an equally well preserved 1949...1 person found this helpful 4,122 views
