CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2014 Chateau Clerc Milon lags behind its 2015 counterpart but is a solid, concentrated, charming 2014 that’s certainly an outstanding wine, and then some. Red and black currants, lots of earthy minerality, tobacco, and cigar notes all give way to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, ripe, textured 2014 that has good acidity, fine tannin, and loads of charm. It’s approachable today but will be better with 3-4 years of bottle age and shine for two decades or more.

Firm plum in colour, the texture is supple and seductive with Pauillac tannic grip kicking in alongside gourmet cocoa bean, cassis, pomegrante and red liquorice. Still young but you can begin to enjoy this with a good few hours in a carafe - unquestionably a 2014 to look out for. Further precision work had been done in the vineyard by this point, not only in the grape selection, but soil restructing work to ensure the roots were heading deeper down.
