Description
Vinification Hand harvested in small crates with initial sorting in the vineyard. Grapes hand-picked from clusters. Transferal to oak vats by gravity. Low-temperature maceration prior to fermentation. Concentric hand-plunging. Directly run off into new barrels by gravity, with no pumping. Aged for 18 months in new French-oak barrels.Commentary Sight A wine of good density ruby red, with brown, mahogany, biscuit hints. It has maintained its luster and clarity. The rim is fairly thick. The tears are fine, clear, abundant and regular. Smell At once expressive, forthright and complex. There are notes of all families of fragrance fruit, flowers, and spices. Taste The attack is forthright, round and suave, soothing even. The intense aromas initially recall the complexity of the nose. There is leather and lightly charred wood, and roasted notes. The beauty of the vintage is revealed by its elegance rather than its full-flavor. The wine has an attractive aromatic range with a finish of remarkable elegance. – Chateau Pape Clement
