The 1999 Clerc-Milon shows better than a previous example that was part of a vertical in 2013. It has aged more gracefully than the 1999 d’Armailhac on the nose, which features blackberry, juniper berries and just a faint touch of cough candy. The palate is well balanced with good density. This is a broad-shouldered Clerc-Milon, weighty in the mouth, with thick tannin and layers of red fruit laced with peppercorns, spice and cedar toward the finish. While not at the same level as recent vintages, I can see this continuing to age in bottle. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate. Drink 2019-2030.
Very attractive aromas of currants and spices follow through to a medium bodied palate, with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Best after 2004. 13080 cases made.
Like Armailhac, made by the Mouton Rothschild team. Also a deep colour but a bit more structure. Chunky wine.
