CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Tasted blind. Deep garnet. Some oak sweetness but not overdone. Dry texture but all just about in balance. Fine tannins, just a little drying on the finish. (JH)

The 2013 Pape Clement has a medium garnet color, with a touch of brick. It is a bit tired on the nose, offering subtle notes of dried figs and mulberries, with hints of rusty nails, leather, and tobacco. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is skeletal and hard, with an abrupt finish. Drink up!
