The fresh and elegant nose exudes ripe morello cherry aromas, followed by subtle notes of licorice and toast to complete a rich and complex yet light and airy bouquet. Initially refined and silky, the palate gathers power on finely chiseled tannins wrapped in crisp flavors of red fruit, dark chocolate and dried flowers. The rich and harmonious palate leads into a stylish and succulent finish with a slightly minty freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Carmenere\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e96Decanter\u003cbr\u003e\nThis needs time, even in the glass, but it is rich, confident and really rather wonderful. Good quality, with depth and complexity to the fruit - it's not going anywhere soon. It has chewy tannins that are clearly just gearing up. Easily one of the best Pauillacs I’ve tasted from this vintage. Still pretty austere up front but with huge potential. Coffee, cinnamon and chocolate touches. 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère to finish the blend.\u003cbr\u003e\n95Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003e\nDensely structured and firm, this wine has weight, rich black fruits and great concentration. The tannins are still considerable, with obvious potential. This estate is now on top form. Drink this impressive wine from 2026.\u003cbr\u003e\nCellar Selection\u003cbr\u003e\n95James Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nExtremely floral with blackberry and blueberry character plus hints of violets. Full-bodied yet always in check and reserve with fine tannins and bright acidity that goes on for minutes. Limestone undertones. The finish is particularly long this vintage. Super Clerc.\u003cbr\u003e\n94Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003e\nA total gem is the 2015 Clerc Milon which checks in as 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Carmenere. This medium to full-bodied, ripe, polished 2015 shines for its purity and elegance just as much as its depth and richness and boast a beautiful nose of blackberries, black raspberries, and cassis intermixed with lots of spice and cedar pencil nuances. With perfect ripeness, medium to full-bodied richness, sweet tannin, and terrific mid-palate depth, it’s going to improve with 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for two to three decades.\u003cbr\u003e\n93Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nA blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Clerc Milon opens with expressive crushed blackberries, red and black plums and cigar boxes notions with suggestions of dried herbs, earth and violets plus a waft of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, fine, fresh and elegant, it has a lovely core of very pure red and black fruits, supported by finely textured tannins and finishing on a lingering perfumed note. This is a very pretty, superbly poised Pauillac!\u003cbr\u003e\nRating: 91+\u003cbr\u003e\n92Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nOffers a rounded, juicy feel, with cherry and black currant fruit moving along, backed by sweet tobacco notes and a flicker of anise. Pure and fresh.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Sample: 89-92\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Clerc Milon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48809711206624,"sku":"131594","price":164.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/chateau-clerc-milon-pauillac-grand-cru-classe_1.jpg?v=1771625488","url":"https:\/\/yianniswinery.com\/products\/chateau-clerc-milon-pauillac-grand-cru-classe-2015-750ml","provider":"Yiannis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
