Chateau Pape Clement Rouge, Pessac-Leognan, France 2021 Bodegas Valduero A bit technical and young

A bit technical and young at the moment but very good

The nose is of sharp spice and berries

The wine is playful and zesty on the palate

This is a wine that already shows great potential while also bringing something of the softer side of a grand Margaux

with cherry and raspberry flavors highlighted by briar patch
