Chateau Pape Clement, Pessac-Leognan, France 2019 Chateau de la Negly Appealing brambly fruit aromatics onCrushed stone and berry aromas with some blackberry and black tea character. Just a touch of smokiness. Sweet fruit, too. This is so refined, subtle, and beautiful for Pape with full body, ultra fine tannins and a succulent finish. The center palate is dense and complete. Goes on for minutes. So subtle and refined, focused and classy.
