Pape Clement Rouge 2017Wine Advocate : 94+ 100 Deep garnet purple in color, the 2017 Pape Clement is composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot, with a nose that is slightly closed at this youthful stagebroody and earthy with baked plums, boysenberries and mulberries aromas plus touches of iron ore, tobacco, tapenade and charcuterie. The palate is medium bodied and elegant with exquisitely ripe tannins, lovely energy and freshness and a long, mineral laced finish.
