Chateau Pape Clement, Pessac-Leognan, France 2009 Grenache - Syrah Tasting Director Sarah Looper suggestedThis is so structured and powerful with amazing depth of fruit and tannins. Blueberry and cherry aromas come through clear. The palate is full and powerful with chewy yet polished tannins and a long, long finish. Really impressive. Needs decanting, if you want to drink it now. One for the cellar. 98 Pts James Suckling
