Château Pape Clément Tasting Notes
Hearty, ample, velvety, rather close to Mission in the richness of its makeup, with a stronger use of wood, it has significant length and very refined and harmonious tannins, with a pleasantness rare in Pessac. Very racy vintage.

Wine Spectator
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. —James Suckling, 93 points

Wine Advocate
Deep garnet. Some cedar is still apparent on the very youthful nose, slightly masking the otherwise attractive cranberry, plums and cassis fruit aromas with a whiff of cloves. The palate is well balanced with medium to high acidity and medium to firm, ripe, velvety tannins. Long finish. Drink now to 2025. Tasted February 2009. —Robert Parker, 93 points

Wine Enthusiast
88-90 A well-balanced use of new wood gives this wine great potential. It shows spice, dark fruit flavors and solid wood tannins. A fine success. —Roger Voss, 90 points
