Château Pape Clément
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Owner/Winemaker Judge Palmer
Probably missed the drinking window on this one but so fun to pull the cork on thanksgiving with my dad - his favorite Bordeaux house and the bottle that propelled him (and thus me) on the path of the wine-obsessed. It had a bit of life remaining and actually came back to life after some time in the decanter.

Nov 23rd, 2023I can’t drink enough of this. Textbook Graves (per everything I read of the old critics). Roasted fruit, cedar-edged nose. Broad but not heavy palate. Hot stones in the finish. Just awesome stuff with years and years to go.

Sep 3rd, 2017Classic older Graves showing soft, sweet core of red & black fruits, cedar, leather, tobacco & crushed rock. Fully mature but still holding, an interesting & enjoyable wine to drink.
