Château Pape Clément
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Last had this nearly 5 years ago, and certainly in a better place now - but still could go longer, even with a 3 hour decant. At first too tight, too dense, too much oak…but with this time this reveals to a more classic Bordeaux. Wonderful with some beautiful lamb chops with a green olive gremolata.

Oct 23rd, 2021A crash course in how to spoil great raw material with excessive extraction and poorly handled wood.

Apr 7th, 2017Decanted for 3 hours based on other notes. This is nice but not incredible by any means. Certainly know it's a well made Bordeaux from a good vintage, but was hoping for more.
