Description
A gorgeous wine and one of the vintage’s most successful efforts, Pape Clement’s dark plum/purple-colored 1988 has a nose of roasted herbs, sweet tobacco smoke, red as well as black currants, and scorched earth. The wine still has a deep ruby color, with only a hint of lightening at the rim. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with sweet but high tannin and a lot of smoke, earth, and asphalt notes. This is a chewy, very complex, aromatic, and authoritatively flavorful wine that has reached its plateau of maturity.

Tasting note
1986年的黑教皇查圖酒莊展現了波爾多葡萄酒的永恆優雅。酒體呈深紅寶石色,邊緣微微泛光,散發著烤香草、甜煙草煙霧以及紅黑加侖子的香氣,底蘊帶有獨特的燒焦土壤氣息。口感中等至飽滿,質地飽滿,風味複雜而芬芳,單寧甜美卻強烈。這款葡萄酒已優雅地達到成熟的高峰,呈現出既經典又鮮明的風味。建議醒酒兩小時,以充分展現其精緻的層次。搭配烤羊肉、烤牛排、蘑菇燴飯或陳年乳酪等濃郁菜餚,風味更佳。
The 1986 Chateau Pape Clement from Pessac-Leognan is a testament to the timeless elegance of Bordeaux wines. With a deep ruby hue and a hint of lightening at the rim, this wine exudes a bouquet of roasted herbs, sweet tobacco smoke, and a medley of red and black currants, all underpinned by a distinctive scorched earth note. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, offering a chewy texture and a complex, aromatic profile with sweet yet pronounced tannins. This wine has gracefully reached its plateau of maturity, presenting an authoritative flavor that is both classic and savory. Decanting for two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its intricate nuances. It pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as roasted lamb, grilled steak, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.
