Tasting notes
Although the light to medium ruby color suggests dilution, Pape-Clement's characteristically complex bouquet reveals aromas of tobacco, herbs, cedar, and sweet red and black fruits. Light-bodied, with low acidity, this pleasant but short wine lacks concentration. It does possess enough of this well-run estate's character to merit some attention. Drink it over the next 2-4 years.
