2021 Château Clerc Milon 5eme cru classé Pauillac

WA93 The 2021 Clerc Milon has turned out very well indeed, offering up aromas of dark berries and minty cassis mingled with hints of violets and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it’s impressively deep and layered, with an ample core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, chalky tannins.

JS93-94 Polished and well-structured red with a medium body and firm but creamy and broad tannins. Perfumed already, with sandalwood, blackberry and currant character. Crushed stones. Tea leaves, too. Firm and solid to the end. Very solid for the vintage. 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 1.5% Carmenere and 1.5% Petit Verdot.
