'This is an extremely successful Clerc Milon in a run of great vintages at the property. Lovely purity, clear big tannins, and real poise and tension. Persistent, succulent, full of cassis, liquorice and crushed mint. Seriously impressive and will go the distance. Harvest from 17 September to 10 October. Blend completed by 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenère. 2026 - 2045.' – Jane Anson, Decanter, 96/100
'This opulent wine is as bold with its fruit as with its tannins. The initial velvet texture masks the dense structure that will allow it to age impressively. Blackberry flavors, acidity and intense richness are coming together in a welter of ripe fruits. Drink from 2026.' – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 96/100
'Blackcurrants, tobacco, graphite, cloves and dried leaves on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Structured and compact with a long, mineral finish. Tight and austere. Very pretty structure here.' – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 95/10
'The 2018 Clerc Milon is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has a very pure, beautifully delineated nose of crushed blackcurrants, fresh black plums and boysenberries with hints of wild thyme, damp soil, tar and black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate offers taut, muscular black fruit with loads of savory layers and a firm, grainy texture, finishing long and mineral tinged. 2023-2039.' – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, 94+/100
'Deep ruby colour. Fresh and clean nose of ripe plums and cherries with a little sweet spice. Refined winemaking in evidence here, fine but grippy tannins, bright acidity and fleshy red fruits. The spice is slightly exotic but in keeping with the overall impression of the wine.' Tom Parker MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20
