Château Pape-Clément--Vintage 1999
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Tasting Note: The stunning 1999 Pape Clement is a blend of 54 Cabernet Sauvignon and 46 Merlot. The wine is performing better from bottle than it did from cask. There is a fabulous bouquet of smoke, blueberries, raspberry cassis, and liquid minerals. This is a medium to full-bodied, layered, concentrated wine with no hard edges. As it sat in the glass, additional aromas of cedar wood, graphite, and cigar smoke emerged. This is a classic, sexy, knock-out Pessac-Leognan with a surprisingly dense, rich style for a 1999. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 140 Apr 2002
