2016 CHÂTEAU CLERC MILON (SUBSKRIPTION)

Clerc Milon ist und bleibt ein „Vin de Garde“. Kühl, kraftvoll, viel Tannin und Frische. Ein unermüdlicher Dauerläufer mit viel Kraft und Saft, dem die Reife des Cabernet Sauvignon unglaublich gut zu Gesicht steht! (94-95)

Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte 
"The 2016 Clerc Milon is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (the latter vinification intégrale, so that it includes 50% of the stems, and Philippe Dhalluin said he was pleased with the results). It has a very pure bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch of cedar and ash in the background. It takes time to really unfold in the glass. The palate is adorable: svelte tannin, beautifully pitched acidity, great depth with a silky smooth finish that just caresses the mouth. There is a little tightness here compared to the more expressive 2016 d'Armailhac, but I have no doubt that it will turn into a top-flight Clerc-Milon." 
Trinkgenuss: 2023 bis 2050 

Decanter: 96/100 Punkte
" An estate that has been making great leaps forward over recent years, and once again we have a gorgeous Clerc on our hands. This is extremely succulent, with aromatic complexity and a freshness that just bursts out of the glass. Things start off closed for the first minute or so, then the juice comes rushing through. The mid-palate is smooth and polished but also bursting with energy. This is quite clearly one of their best ever wines, ripped through with sweet cherry and wild blackberry fruit, tightened up by slate and cedar. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (some of the oldest plantings of this grape in Bordeaux)."
Trinkgenuss: 2027-2050

Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte 
“… (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Carménère) Tiefes, kräftiges, würziges Bouquet, schwarze Beeren, Korinthen, Pflaumen, Lakritze, Graphit, Tabak. Kraftvoller, dichtverwobener, aromatischer Gaumen mit kräftiger, dunkler, samtener Frucht, viel gutem Tannin, konzentrierter, muskulöser Struktur, vielfältiger Aromatik, sehr langer, dichter Abgang. Kann noch zulegen
Trinkgenuss: 2024 bis 2042 

Wine Spectator: 93-96/100 Punkte 
"Very fresh in feel, with bright cassis and cherry fruit racing along an iron edge. Shows a good sleek feel through the finish and a light tug of earth at the very end. A vivacious and delicious wine in the making." 

James Suckling: 94-95/100 Punkte
"Refined and ultra-fine with a linear and polished character. Full-bodied, yet tight and racy. A classy and sophisticated young wine." 

Antonio Galloni vinous: 90-93/100 Punkte 
"The 2016 Clerc Milon is dense, plush and undeniably appealing. Plump fruit and supple tannins add to the wine's considerable charm. Here, too, the texture is sweet, plush and quite generous. A burst of dark blue/purplish fruit, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice punctuates the vivid finish. Clerc Milon has been terrific on each of the three occasions I have tasted it so far." 

Wine Enthusiast: 93-95/100 Punkte
"This wine has great richness, with dense tannins that beautifully meld with intense black fruits. It's concentrated, while at the same time it has a superb, velvety texture. This will be a great wine, ready after 12-15 years."
