Pape Clément 1989 is a mature Left Bank Bordeaux from the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The nose reveals a complex array of aromas, including dark fruits, earthy notes of loamy soil and hints of cigar box. On the palate, it presents a medium to full body with a structured profile, showcasing well-integrated tannins and balancing acidity. This wine possesses a notable depth, with layers unfolding gradually. Established in 1252, Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest vineyards in Bordeaux, known for its traditional winemaking practices.

The 1989 Pape-Clément fails to replicate a superb bottle that I encountered back in 2010, although I do find improvement in the glass. The fragrant, well-defined bouquet presents pressed flowers, melted asphalt, brambly red fruit and orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannin, plenty of cedar and black pepper; more pencil lead develops with aeration that might lead you to the Médoc. There is good density here, perhaps indicating a Pape-Clément that will benefit from a good decant or indeed, further cellaring. Very fine old-school Pessac-Léognan. Tasted blind at lunch in London.
