2008 Chateau Pape Clement Rouge Pessac-Leognan, France

(95 Points) Young, full bodied, rich and intense, the wine is loaded with dark fruit, which you can easily see in its color. There is intensity, earthyness, smoke, licorice, espresso and black cherry from start to finish. The wine is a fabulous balance between the sweet fruits, youthful character and promise of future complexities. 95 Points - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
