2001 Chateau Pape Clement, Pessac-Leognan, France 375ml

A brilliant dense purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary perfume of camphor, graphite, plums, cassis, and barbecue spices. A prodigious, multilayered, medium-bodied effort with exceptional concentration, a fabulous texture, and a 50-second finish, this brilliant achievement is one of the vintage’s monumental wines. P.S. Yields were a mere 28 hectoliters per hectare, which no doubt explains the wine’s stunning concentration.
