1993 Clerc Milon Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blend: 6000ml
about this wine:
Location: Chateau Clerc-Milon is located in Pauillac, just between Chateau Mouton-Rothschild and Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. 69 acres producing 14,000 cases. Classification: 5th Growth Grape Varieties: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon , 25% Merlot, 10% other varieties.

Style: The wines of Clerc Milon are firm and well structured due to the high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon used to make them. They have hints of raspberry and black currant in the nose and on the palate. These wines are able to easily age for a decade or longer but are suprisingly accessible at much younger ages...

Wine Spectator, January 1996
Clerc Milon is a sure bet for a very good wine in any vintage. Impressive medium to full body, tobacco, cherry, tar and chestnut character, velvety tannins and medium finish. Needs time; try in 1998. -JS
