An undeniable success as well as a candidate for the Graves of the vintage in 2002, the 2002 Pape Clement boasts a deep ruby/purple color in addition to notes of smoke, hot bricks, scorched earth, red and black currants, and some high-class cigar tobacco. It is medium to full-bodied with a rich, textured mouthfeel, wonderful sweetness, ripeness of tannin, and a long finish with hints of plums, licorice, and subtle barrique.
Concentrated aromas of plums, coffee and blackberries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with chewy tannins and a rich finish. Slightly overextracted but very good.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
