Chateau Pape Clement Cru Classe
-- Internet: -- WS: Offers a grippy feel, with tar and warm fruitcake notes framing a core of plum sauce, blackberry coulis and pastis. Sappy and energetic through the finish. The tarry grip hangs on. Best from 2016 through 2028. 93/100 -- Gerstl: Der Duft ist wunderbar süss, sehr intensiv und konzentriert, auch an Komplexität fehlt es nicht, ein geniales Duftbild. Auch am Gaumen stimmt eigentlich alles, köstliche Süsse, feine Rasse, edle Tannine, viel Aromatik, aber irgendwie löst der Wein keine Emotionen aus, wirkt etwas technisch und beinahe etwas langweilig. Das ist, was ich persönlich empfinde ist sicher kein allgemein gültiges Urteil. 18/20-- NM: The 2011 is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot cropped between 16th September and 7th October. It has a very refined bouquet with ripe blackberry, briary, crushed stone and graphite, almost Pauillac in style with impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, good acidity and much more substance than I was expecting. It is a Pape Clement whose byword is: panache. It is supremely well put together, very harmonious with a seamless finish that slips down the throat. Unashamedly modern in style as one would expect, but it is very well crafted. 92-94/100 -- Parker: The 2011 Pape Clement, a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, was aged 18 months in new French oak before being bottled unfiltered. Absolutely profound, with a complex bouquet of mulberries, black cherries, black currants, graphite and subtle smoke and burning ember-like aromas, this is a true super-star of the vintage. It represents a remarkable achievement by the winemaking team of Bernard Magrez. Full-bodied, rich and multidimensional, this wine clearly transcends the entire vintage. It should age effortlessly for 25 years. 96/100
