Situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in Graves, Château Pape Clément is one of the oldest estates in Bordeaux, dating back to the 13th century. The 36-hectare property is on a combination of gravel-sand and clay-limestone soils, with a chalky subsoil rich in iron. 1990 was one of the top vintages of the 20th century for Bordeaux and this release is here to prove it. The blend is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and a substantial proportion of Merlot, 40%. That gives the wine a remarkable fragrance and smoothness.

This complex, dark garnet/plum-tinged wine reveals some bricking at the edge, and its beautiful, smoky, meaty nose exhibits notions of sweet currants, black cherries, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied and fleshy with low acidity, sweet tannin, and an expansive mouthfeel with no hard edges, it is a fully mature 1990 that should drink well for another decade. In my opinion, the Pape Clement vintages from 1998 onward are even more impressive and deeper. Moreover, they possess greater longevity. Release price: ($310.00/case)Robert Parker30th June 2009

Very good cherry-red. Closed, phenolic nose hints at black cherry, roasted nuts and menthol. Highly extracted and unevolved almost aggressive today and not showing the extreme ripeness of the vintage. Still, concentrated and firm, with tannins under control. For the cellar. Stephen Tanzer1st November 1993
