Clerc Milon 2017 (750ML)

93-95 Points, Lisa Perrotti- Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère, the 2017 Clerc Milon is deep garnet-purple in color and scented of crushed red and black currants, wild blueberries and black pepper with touches of cigar box, violets, underbrush and menthol. Medium-bodied and with a very firm structure of wonderfully ripe, pixelated tannins and exhilarating freshness, it finishes long with notes of pebbles and floral perfume." 4/18

92-93 Points, James Suckling: "Tight and compacted with chewy tannins and showing hot-stone, blackberry and blueberry character. Full body and a driven finish." 4/18

90-93 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "Crunchy plum and black currant notes are fresh and focused, while chalk, iron and savory details line the finish. Shows nice purity and minerally drive" 4/18

93-95 Points, Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast: "Finely structured, there is an excellent balance between fruit and tannins on this ripe and juicy wine. It is elegant, harmonious and poised. It will develop easily and over time will be an impressive wine." 4/18

94 Points, Jane Anson, Decanter: "It's immediately obvious from both colour and first nose that this has a wonderful richness to it, offering powerful cherry pit, graphite and dark chocolate notes but without being overly sweet. A serious wine that is delivering on its potential, vintage after vintage. The Cab Franc vines are on limestone and clay here, and reached perfect ripeness. Overall there is a higher percentage of both Cabernets than usual in the blend. 9% press wine. 50% new oak." 4/18
