2008 Château Clerc Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux Unit of Measure:1 X 750ML This was closed and hard

This was closed and hard to read a few years after release and over the following decade or more

Juicy acidity and a fair depth of flavour

and yet I am also struck by its tension

single malt bottlings were beginning to emerge

It perfectly combines American Oak sherry and this distillery’s much-loved spirit

2008 Château Clerc Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux Unit of Measure:1 X 750ML This was closed and hardBelonging to the Mouton stable, and with a prestigious location right next to both Mouton and Lafite, Ch. Clerc Milon is a fresher, lighter style of 2008 which has a delicious hint of creamy raspberry fruit to the more classic blackcurrant backbone. Fine with exceptionally fine tannins this has a lovely rounded finish with more than a hint of the savoury minerality of the vintage.
