Note di degustazione
This is demure, rich and deep but still quite fresh. Blackberries, tar, peppercorns and a twist of licorice and cigars on the nose. Full-bodied with plenty of ripe, dusty tannins. Structured and unique. Long and ample finish. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 9% cabernet franc, 3% petit verdot and 1% carmenere. Drink or hold. From a vertical tasting at the chateau.

Excellent quality, with abundant juice, slate tannins, plump black cherry, fig and blackberry fruit, ripe and rich in the character of the 2018 vintage but this is still a Pauillac with a firm voice. Eucalyptus, cocoa bean, turmeric, sage and liqourice add layers to the finish. Harvest September 17 to October 10. Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy technical director.
Tasted blind. Not the most concentrated crimson. Light, fresh and zippy. Compact and undramatic with just a hint of something green on the palate. (JR)
If you haven't checked back in with Clerc Milon recently, this is the vintage to see what they have been doing. Real purity to the fruit character, this is Pauillac blackcurrant and blackberry, hawthorn and hedegrow, liqouorice, eucalyptus and crushed mint leaf. Poised and confient, and ready to go long. Harvest from 17 September to 10 October. Such excellent winemaking from Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy (now over at sibling estate Mouton Rothschild). 50% new oak.
