Sunday, March 8, 2020 - Had this a few times and often found it to be "funky" but pleasurable. This bottle was much less funky but quite typical of Pape Clement - big rich fruit forward wine. This bottle beginning to display some real elegance as the puppy fat fruit recedes - very nice. There is, of course a freshness to the wine, despite it being Pape Clement, the tannins are ripe soft and integrated. There is an odd cigar and wood thing going on on the finish. There is leather too as the tertiaries begin to emerge. Long and complex.
