The 2011 Clerc Milon is really quite good and of all the wines shown at Mouton this year, this is the one that I have the most confidence about its future evolution moving in a very positive direction. The deep and classy nose offers up scents of cassis, cigar ash, lead pencil, gravel and a nice touch of smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite reserved on the attack, with a firm core of fruit, good focus and a long, tangy and ripely tannic finish. This will need at least a good dozen years in the cellar before its starts to drink well, but it will be a very good wine in the fullness of time. (Drink between 2025-2065)
