Château Clerc Milon
Château Clerc Milon Rothschild, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2007
justerini & brooks tasting note
Charming wine with bramble and cherry fruit on the nose; a soft structure on the palate, medium weight, plenty of grippy red fruit and a pleasant chocolatey finish. One of the rare wines in Bordeaux still to add a small amount of Carmenère to the blend.

89/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Good deep red. Expressive aromas of currant, licorice, graphite and chocolatey oak complicated by hints of iron, leather and game. Broad, ripe and lush but quite dry; this tightened up in the glass. Offers very good texture for the vintage, though, finishing with substantial supple tannins that turned a bit tougher with aeration. I'd lay this down for a few years.
