{"product_id":"ch-clerc-milon-2015","title":"Chateau Clerc Milon 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eChateau Clerc Milon is a distinguished Fifth Growth from the Pauillac appellation, celebrated for its richness, elegance, and remarkable ageing potential. Concentrated blackcurrant, cassis, cedar, and spice are framed by refined tannins and vibrant freshness, leading to a long, polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs best with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, venison, duck breast, wild mushrooms, and aged Comte cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis needs time, even in the glass, but it is rich, confident and really rather wonderful. Good quality, with depth and complexity to the fruit - it's not going anywhere soon. It has chewy tannins that are clearly just gearing up. Easily one of the best Pauillacs I’ve tasted from this vintage. Still pretty austere up front but with huge potential. Coffee, cinnamon and chocolate touches. 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère to finish the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSavory meat, tobacco, paprika and touches of oranges and cassis on the nose. Fine-grained, with an almost full body and good tannins. Long finish with juicy, dusty tannins at the end. 51% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 1% each of petit verdot and carmenere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDensely structured and firm, this wine has weight, rich black fruits and great concentration. The tannins are still considerable, with obvious potential. This estate is now on top form. Drink this impressive wine from 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total gem is the 2015 Clerc Milon which checks in as 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Carmenere. This medium to full-bodied, ripe, polished 2015 shines for its purity and elegance just as much as its depth and richness and boast a beautiful nose of blackberries, black raspberries, and cassis intermixed with lots of spice and cedar pencil nuances. With perfect ripeness, medium to full-bodied richness, sweet tannin, and terrific mid-palate depth, it’s going to improve with 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for two to three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Clerc Milon opens with expressive crushed blackberries, red and black plums and cigar boxes notions with suggestions of dried herbs, earth and violets plus a waft of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, fine, fresh and elegant, it has a lovely core of very pure red and black fruits, supported by finely textured tannins and finishing on a lingering perfumed note. This is a very pretty, superbly poised Pauillac!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis offers up a perfumed profile of gently warmed cherry and plum fruit along with notes of black tea, vanilla and licorice.
