A superb effort, the 1998 may be the finest Clerc-Milon I have tasted. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, this is a blockbuster, over-sized offering for this estate. Full-bodied and super-extracted, with power to burn, this rich, concentrated wine demands 7-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. Wine Advocate.April, 2001
Robert Parker Score: 91/100
A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, the 1998 Clerc Milon is deep garnet-brick in color and scented of cigar boxes, sandalwood and old leather with a core of plum preserves and figs plus a touch of powdered cinnamon. The palate is medium-bodied, soft, plush and fresh with a little chew to the finish. Drink up! May 2018, www.robertparker.com
