Reviewed January 2020
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.

It's immediately obvious from both colour and first nose that this has a wonderful richness to it, offering powerful cherry pit, graphite and dark chocolate notes but without being overly sweet. A serious wine that is delivering on its potential, vintage after vintage. The Cab Franc vines are on limestone and clay here, and reached perfect ripeness. Overall there is a higher percentage of both Cabernets than usual in the blend. 9% press wine. 50% new oak. (JA)

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. (LPB) 94+

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. (RV)

2017 Clerc Milon shows a touch of fresh oak on the nose with plenty of strong red fruit, good middle texture and a powerful, persistent finish. this is a very good wine that we always taste right before Mouton. My notes say "this is the Buy!". As a collector of Bordeaux myself and Mouton priced at $499.99 versus Clerc at $69.99 I remain a big Clerc Milon fan and have been since the 1989 vintage.

Notes

92 points Antonio Galloni for Vinous: "A real sleeper in this vintage, the 2017 Clerc Milon packs a serious punch. Inky dark fruit, new leather, mint and lavender infuse the 2017 with striking layers of dimension. In 2017, Clerc Milon is shockingly intense, the result of a year with quite a bid of dehydration on the vine. There is no shortage of depth or structure, at least in the early going. I can't wait to see how the 2017 ages." (03/2020)
