Note di degustazione
Savory 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. Drink or hold. From a vertical tasting at the chateau.

Tasted blind. Muddy garnet. Indistinct nose. Drying finish after rather a hard palate. (JR)
The 2015 Clerc Milon has a loose-knit bouquet featuring mainly red fruit. It's slightly herbaceous and earthy in style and not really exuding Pauillac typicity. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with pliant tannins and bright acidity, although overall it misses some complexity, especially toward the finish. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.
Inky depths to the colour, gunsmoke aromatics, sweet blackberry, damson and bilberry fruit. Muscular tannins holding everything in place but you can clearly see the development ahead, with its concentrated cocoa bean, espresso, toasted cherry pit and rosemary on the finish. Great stuff. Harvest September 17 to October 6, Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy technical director, 50% new oak.
