Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Intensives, warmes Bouquet, Amarenakirschen, exotische Edelhölzer, Kaffee, Zedern und dominikanischer Tabak, nicht so powervoll von der Vinifikation her wie in den letzten Jahren. Samtener, seidiger Gaumen, viel Souplesse in den recht fetten Tanninen, Cassis, Kokos und Nusspralinen im gebündelten Finale. Setzt etwas mehr auf Erotik den Pessac! Vier Mal verkostet. Zwei Mal auf 18/20-Niveau und dann die beiden besseren Eindrücke bei: 19/20. Bewertung 19/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Pape Clement struts flamboyantly out of the glass, featuring beautifully opulent preserved black fruits, Morello cherries and Chinese five spice with underlying notions of truffles, iron ore and tobacco plus a waft of sandalwood. Full-bodied, the voluptuous fruit has a firm foundation of super ripe, grainy tannins and bags of freshness supporting layer upon layer of black fruit, exotic spices and earth-laced flavors, finishing very long. Drinke Date 2019-2055. Rating 99/100. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown-

Vinous:

The 2009 Pape-Clément has a very intense, slightly smudged bouquet with heady red fruit laced with smoke, hickory and light earthenware scents. It takes time to settle although, it does gain clarity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. I find the finish just missing the tension of precision conveyed by say, the 2010 or 2016, to name but two superior vintages. This is a very fine Pape-Clément, but they have produced even greater examples in recent years. Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits' Ten Year On tasting. Drink Date 2022-2045. Rating 94/100. -Neal Martin-

James Suckling:

Wonderful aromas of plums and blueberries and flowers. Full-bodied with plums, stones, hazelnuts and milk chocolate, and a long, long finish. Marvelous. Rating 98/100. -JamesSuckling.com-
