Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London.The 2006 Château Clerc-Milon has a very respectable bouquet: red fruit rather than black, laced with tobacco, woodland and dried herbs aromas, quite Saint Julien-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, succulent opening: blackberry and raspberry fruit laced with salt and a dash of white pepper that leave the mouth tingling on the Merlot-driven finish. Tasted January 2016.
Tasted blind. Smudgy look. Edgy interesting nose. Racy, fragrant, with lots of sucky-stony character on the end. Pretty confident. Long. Very serious. (JR)
Denser and more winning than Armailhac. Sleek and polished with real life. Though still pretty dry on the end. (JR)
