CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
The wine has the highest levels of Cabernet Sauvignon since the 1980s, and even on the nose you can feel its impact in terms of the depth of tight black fruit. Extremely good quality with fine tannins that build, build, build over the palate, and grip on, forcing you to slow down and pay attention. Beautiful spice with menthol, slate, pencil lead, blackberry and blackcurrant. An exciting wine with real energy and forward motion, helped to withstand the summer heat by its position by the river, and the fact that the average age of the vines at Clerc Milon is almost 50 years. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Jean Emmanuel Danjoys last outing doing the full vintage at Clerc Milon before he heads over to Mouton as technical director.

Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Low-key, saline fruit. Very gentle, without much definition or excitement, but with a distinctive green note.
