Parker about Château Pape Clément 2022
With a somber, slightly introverted character characterized by notes of licorice, gentian, spices and dark wild berries, the 2022 Smith Haut Lafitte possesses a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and dense palate with a fleshy core of fruit and a generously extracted structure with an assertive tannic frame that requires time to mellow. Concluding with a long, dense and gentian-inflected finish, it needs time to digest its élevage and should gain harmony and balance with some time in the cellar.
Suckling over Château Pape Clément 2022
This is a very structured 2022 with powerful tannins that run the length of the wine. Yet it's perfumed and fresh with flowers and subtle undertones of stone. Pure. It's full but not heavy with backbone and structure. Lots of crushed stone and currants. One of the most transparent you Pape's I have tasted. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon.
