CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2013 Pape Clement has a perfectly capable nose, lifted brambly red fruit, touches of brown spice, sous-bois and perhaps more energy than some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with acceptable definition, clearly more fruit concentration with a tad more sweetness and grip on the finish. If I were buying a Pessac-Leognan from this maligned vintage, it might well be this. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting.

The 2013 Pape Clement has a not dissimilar bouquet to the Smith-Haut-Lafitte with blackberry, cedar and light tobacco scents gently unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well judged acidity that binds it together. I like the detail here, one of the more precise 2013s with a tender finish that has a commendable persistence. This is an impressive 2013 that should bestow 12 to 15 years drinking pleasure.

NHB. Straightforward crimson. Light nose. Pretty weak fruit on the palate. What a contrast to the heavy bottle! Really there's not much here. Expensive mouthwash? (JR)
