2009 Pape Clement Although the 2009 Pape Clement may not be as sublime as the 2005 or 2000, but it is very close to those two efforts, and it will be fascinating to compare them (as well as the 2008 and 2010) over the following three decades. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc with a modest 13.5% alcohol, the 2009 reveals considerable structure and tannin along with tell-tale notes of burning embers, scorched earth, graphite, blueberries, blackberries and toasty vanillin, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This rich, full offering is surprisingly backward. This cuvee should drink well in 5-6 years as one rarely has to wait a decade or more to enjoy Pape Clement. It should age for three decades or more. This 13th century vineyard situated in the suburbs of Pessac is owned by one of Bordeaux's most interesting visionaries, Bernard Magrez. He has done a remarkable job in turning around this once moribund property that made a bevy of undrinkable wines into one of the superstars of Bordeaux.

尽管2009年份的克莱蒙教皇庄园红葡萄酒没有达到2005年份或者2000年份的巅峰状态，但是它和这两者之间相差无几，而且将它们（还包括2008年份和2010年份）同接下来30年的红酒相比较也是极为有趣的。它混合了50%的赤霞珠、45%的梅洛以及5%的品丽珠，具有温和的13.5%的酒精度。2009年份的克莱蒙教皇庄园显示出相当高品质的质感和单宁，还具有燃烧的余烬、烤焦的土壤、石墨味道混合了蓝莓、黑莓和考香草的芳香，并且口感饱满。这款丰富、浓郁的佳酿还具有令人惊叹的回味。这批美酒应该在5-6年间就可以品尝，不像其他那些需要至少等上10年陈藏才能饮用的克莱蒙教皇庄园，而它至少可以窖藏30年。这个13世纪的古老葡萄庄园坐落于佩萨克近郊，并由整个波尔多地区最为远见卓识的经营者之一，贝纳德·马格列所拥有，经过不懈的努力，他将这个曾经出产难以下咽红酒的停滞不前的产业，变成了波尔多地区酿酒业的一颗巨星。 评分：95分，罗伯特帕克，葡萄酒推荐， 2012年3月 |
