Tasting Notes

ABV:

13 %

Notes

50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot went into the final blend – with yields of less than 25 hectolitres per hectare. Smoky, cigar leaf aromas. Excellent ripe cassis with a leathery texture. Fine tannins and big super concentrated finish.

Notes

The 2001 Pape Clément has a splendid nose, ripe and forward and more complex than the 2000, featuring a mixture of red and black fruit, sprigs of fresh mint, menthol and juniper, all nicely focused and finely delineated. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins matched with a fine bead of acidity. Silky-smooth and persistent, it caresses the mouth with notes of white pepper and mulberry. This was burly and tannic in its youth but has since softened. It’s drinking well at this moment and will do so for another 20 years. Very fine. Aged for 18 months entirely in new oak.
