Rated a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Château Clerc Milon is a 41-hectare estate situated in the Pauillac appellation. The château, which is owned by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild family, sits between Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild. This release is from the 1989 vintage, composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. A classic Pauillac, with a substantial body, attractive minerality and minty freshness.

The 1989 Clerc-Milon is a vintage that I have not tasted for 15 years. It offers more fruit than the 1989 d’Armailhac, displaying notes of black currant, melted tar and graphite, and just a little herbaceousness creeping in with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded, dusky black fruit laced with Chinese tea, bay leaf and a touch of licorice. There is a richness emanating from the hot summer, and a slight lack of delineation toward the finish, but it also plenty of muscle and presence and an appealing hickory aftertaste. Tasted from an ex-cellar bottle at the château. Neal Martin1st September 2019
