Château Clerc Milon Pauillac 1855 5ième Cru 2016

This has taken its time to come around, as it is a muscular wine with powerful and sculpted tannic grip, but at approaching nine years old you are beginning to really appreciate the brilliance on display. Expect raspberry, cranberry, olive paste, sage, grilled rosemary and cracked pepper, with sweeter toasted caramel notes. Great stuff, director Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, 50% new oak.
