Big and powerful with soil, graphite, licorice, and anise. Some of that unplaceable funk that assures you’re dealing with a heavy hitter. Really like where this is at and where it’s going. My #2 tonight.

Medium concentration of garnet color. Smoke, ash, tobacco, iron/iodine, blood/sanguine, dried tea leaves, prune, tart and dried red cherry, orange/citrus, blackberry. Medium acidity, high levels of tight grippy tannins. Needs more time.

The 2015 Pape-Clément has a fragrant bouquet with quite plush, generous but well defined red berry fruit mixed with rose petal and incense, smoke and cigar humidor following later. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, crisp and focused. A seam of graphite emerges toward the finish. This is linear and correct at the moment. This should develop into a very fine Pessac-Léognan, one full of breed and sophistication. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2019)
