Smoked ham. Bam. This is so tight and compact. Beyond confident. Packed and stacked. Not what I expected. This doubles down on everything and get away with it. Loaded with dark fruits. Perfectly balanced. It has it all. Don’t touch for a decade. 10-30. Super impressive! Drink 2032-2052

The 2021 Pape Clément exhibits notions of sweet berries and cherries mingled with rich aromas of espresso roast, black truffles, toasty new oak and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, deep and quite extracted in style, it's a rich, fleshy wine that gained in integration and harmony over the the three weeks I spent in Bordeaux. Tasted three times.
