Château Pape Clément Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

$169

This wine stands out as a sensational effort just a few years away from full maturity. A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine displays loads of scorched earth and smoky barbecue scents along with blueberry, black raspberry and black currant. The wine is expansive, has a savory, broad palate and a full-bodied mouthfeel, yet possesses vivid purity and uplift...Drink now-2031. Robert Parker

Road tar, currants, cassis, and some higher levels of brett on this one. The palate has some really nice depth with dark fruit of blackberries and cassis, but the brett is a little too strong and somewhat overpowers the flavors. Drink now before it gets much worse.

Aromas of cassis, olive, graphite, and a hint of menthol. A pop of dark fruit on the palate with blackberry, dark cherry, cassis and a mild component of brett. Medium-heavy tannins on the finish. Peaking in probably another 5 years (2020).

Surly, dark & brooding as usual but lacking weight. Storage problem perhaps.

Whoa this is a huge very masculine wine. Nose is classic Pessac - cassis, cedar, tobacco and oak - just incredible. Palate is lush and concentrated - black cherries, cassis, currants, leather, cedar, tobacco and some oak. Finish is super long. A bit strong on the oak for my taste and just a tad too powerful, but this is still very fun drinking.
