This is a rich and profound red with blackberries, blackcurrants, pine needles and graphite. Black licorice, too. Full-bodied, crisp and creamy with fantastic tannin backbone and length. Deep. By James Suckling, Jan 2020.
The 2017 Clerc Milon is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and offers up a gorgeous nose of potpourri, cinnamon stick, candied violets and kirsch over a core of warm cassis, plum preserves and boysenberries with a waft of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers loads of muscular fruit with a firm, fine-grained texture and tons of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. By Lisa Perrotti-Brown @ Wine Advocate, Mar 2020.
With its elegant structure and a layer of firm tannins, this wine has density, a dry core and the blackcurrant freshness that comes with the vintage. The tannins will allow this wine to age well. By Ross Voger @ Wine Enthusiast, Jan 2020.
This starts with a kick of violet before a well-built beam of black currant, fig and plum paste flavors enters authoritatively. Very solid through the finish, with chestnut, alder and graphite notes adding a defined bass line. Fresh acidity is well-embedded throughout, keeping all the elements in line. A strong showing. By Wine Spectator, Mar 2020. |
