Château Clerc Milon 2014 Pauillac (75cl)

Château Clerc Milon 2014 is a Pauillac Fifth Growth in the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) group. The 2014 vintage blend is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenère. Harvest ran from 22 September to 17 October 2014, after a contrasting year capped by an exceptional Indian summer of hot, sunny, dry days from late August through October. The estate describes deep garnet with a purple tint, a refined elegant nose of ripe fruit with graphite, liquorice and verbena freshness, and a full-bodied attack into rich harmonious balance with silky creamy tannins and judicious spicy oak. The finish is long, on vanilla and forest-floor notes.
