2015 Chateau Pape Clement Rouge Pessac-Leognan, France

(95 Points) The 2015 Chateau Pape Clement red wine is a stunning new release that has massive potential. On the nose this beautiful wine takes on intense aromas of red currant with blackberry cordial, smoke and red bell pepper. The palate is very rich and decadent with great freshness and intensity. Red bell pepper, cassis and leather flavors combine with earthy undertones on the palate. Rich and beautifully layered, this elegant wine will cellar well for the next several decades. - Owen Bargreen
