Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Pape Clement is a little closed, slowly unfurling to reveal fragrant earth, crushed rocks, iron ore and tobacco notions over a core of crushed red and black currants plus kirsch, red roses and Ceylon tea. Full-bodied and wonderfully vivacious, it offers a solid line of firm and fine-grained tannins and amazing freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScore: 96\/98\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ci\u003eLisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (April 2019), April 2019\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a very driven Pape Clément with fantastic density and finesse at the same time.

Plenty of lively black fruit on the nose, then really thick and chewy on the palate. The alcohol, high generally in this vintage, shows here. Dense, chewy and a bit monolithic.
