Clerc Milon 1999 is a Fifth Growth red wine from the Pauillac estate owned by the Rothschild family. This vintage is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc, matured in 55% new French oak. The 1999 season produced a wine that is now fully mature and seductive, displaying a bouquet of roasted herbs, cedar and cassis. On the palate, it is velvety-textured and approachable, with soft tannins and a creamy mid-palate typical of this classic Bordeaux vintage.

The 1999 Clerc-Milon shows better than a previous example that was part of a vertical in 2013. It has aged more gracefully than the 1999 d’Armailhac on the nose, which features blackberry, juniper berries and just a faint touch of cough candy. The palate is well balanced with good density. This is a broad-shouldered Clerc-Milon, weighty in the mouth, with thick tannin and layers of red fruit laced with peppercorns, spice and cedar toward the finish. While not at the same level as recent vintages, I can see this continuing to age in bottle. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate.Neal Martin1st September 2019

Aromatic. Refreshing (though not green) nose on a relatively ripe, fleshy body. Very appealing package, though the acidity is notable. Quite firm. (JR)
