2018 Clerc Milon Grand Cru Classe Pauillac

James Suckling: 95

Blackcurrants, tobacco, graphite, cloves and dried leaves on the nose. It's medium-to full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Structured and compact with a long, mineral finish. Tight and austere. Very pretty structure here. Wait until 2025.

Falstaff: 96

Dark ruby ​​garnet, violet reflections, delicate lightening at the edges. Fine herbal spice, delicate velour, ripe cherry fruit, candied orange zest, tobacco nuances. Firm, tight-knit, fine berry fruit, ripe, supporting tannins, mineral core, salty finish, extract-sweet aftertaste, fine nougat in the aftertaste, shows length and aging potential. (2025–2050)
