| Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Pape Clement struts flamboyantly out of the glass, featuring beautifully opulent preserved black fruits, Morello cherries and Chinese five spice with underlying notions of truffles, iron ore and tobacco plus a waft of sandalwood. Full-bodied, the voluptuous fruit has a firm foundation of super ripe, grainy tannins and bags of freshness supporting layer upon layer of black fruit, exotic spices and earth-laced flavors, finishing very long. |
Profile:
With a lifted note of raspberries on the nose, Ch. Pape Clement’s red 2009 is dense, smooth and ripe. With toasty, spicy notes of new oak, this is a full, rich wine which will need some time to reveal its hidden secrets.
