Château Pape Clément

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Merlot dominant in a left bank. Rare but definitely an experience. Plush wine with good tannins and a great evolving flavor. Black currants, touches of plums, graphite and a wine that evolves throughout the experience. An age worthy wine. — 13 days ago
