CHÂTEAU PAPE CLEMENT 2016 - Pessac-Leognan (Grand Cru Classé de Graves) - Bordeaux - France
About this wine

Deep purple colour, with deep and brilliant reflections. Very expressive on the nose with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and Morello cherry mixed with notes of liquorice and violet. Great elegance on the palate, with a fine tannic framework supported by nice freshness, giving a wine of remarkable depth and persistence on the palate. A great wine that will go on for decades.

Critique Review
"This is phenomenal with a density and finesse that are hard to remember for this wine. Full-bodied, tight and polished Seamless texture and salty undertones. Goes on for minutes. Truly great. What a barrel sample."

James Suckling
"Intense, with vivacious cassis, blueberry and boysenberry confiture notes, while tar, anise and warm fruitcake flavors pulse underneath. Offers seriously flashy toast at the end, but has the density to soak it up. A big wine."
97 Points
James Molesworth - Wine Spectator
"This is a serious, structured wine with fine tannins as well as acidity. There is a depth of flavor in this elegant wine, with black currant fruit and great structure. A wine for the long haul."
96 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Pape Clément retains its customary oak and black fruit impact on the nose in 2016, but without doubt they have sculpted the body. This has thrillingly bright dark berry fruits and a sharp shot of vitality that takes you through from beginning to end. Beautiful touches of minerality on the powerful palate, wrought into an elegant style without losing its texture and sense of depth. This is a step-change in many ways from the vintages where Pape Clément went all-out for power."
