Chateau Clerc-Milon, Pauillac 5eme cru classe

“The dense ruby purple-tinged 2008 Clerc-Milon offers attractive aromas of toast, black currants and forest floor. Deep, full-bodied, rich, elegant and moderately tannic, this impressively endowed 2008 is an outstanding success from the Mouton-Rothschild staff (who are responsible for making this wine). Should drink well for 15 years or more.” 90 points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 194

“Aromas of cherry compote cassis, oak and stony minerals. Long, dense, concentrated and chunky style. Rewarding for its good intensity and well-handled tannins. Decent classical style.” 92 points Decanter (August 2015)   42% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 16% cabernet franc, 2% petit verdot.
