2003 Chateau Pape Clement Grand Cru Classe de Graves [WA95] [WS93] (SOLD OUT)

Producer: Chateau Pape Clement Region: Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux, France  Blend:  60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot Year: 2003  Wine Advocate, 95 Points  "This gorgeous, fully mature, complex Pape Clement exhibits notes of smoky tobacco, earth, loamy soil, forest floor, black cherries, plums and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, fresh and lively, the acids have fallen away and the tannins have melted into an opulent, fleshy, classic Bordeaux. Consume it over the next 10-15 years. Bravo!"  Wine Spectator, 93 Points  "Intense aromas of crushed berry, mineral, tobacco and smoke. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and loads of ripe, rich fruit. Goes on for minutes. This is tight and well-structured. Best after 2011. 7,080 cases made."  Alcohol: 13.5%  *Discounts do not apply to items like this one in the Fine & Rare category.
