@Peter van den Besselaar, is this a special cuvée/bottling of this wine?
@Doug Powers No. The pilanthropist Osiris gifted the chateau to the French state in 1907. It has been a viticulture school ever since.
Château Pape Clément
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
Post dinner party notes. This was really good but paled side by side with the 2015 Mondavi Oakville, which surprised me. Reserved but deep. Soft and mouthcoating. — 12 days ago

This beautiful Sauternes offers a sweet nose of dried apricot with a full body on the palate. It has notes of tangerine, honey and spice with a velvety, long finish. — 18 days ago
