Bordeaux / France

Red

This is an adequate Pape-Clement. The wine is medium ruby, with an attractive, herb-like, spicy, ripe fruity nose somewhat dominated by vanillin oak and tight, compact, rustic flavors. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 3/89. Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com
