James Suckling: 95 Points
"Extremely floral with blackberry and blueberry character plus hints of violets. Full-bodied yet always in check and reserve with fine tannins and bright acidity that goes on for minutes. Limestone undertones. The finish is particularly long this vintage. Super Clerc. Try in 2021."
Wine Enthusiast: 93-95 Points
"This is a velvety wine with its beautiful tannins and generous fruit. Its acidity shows through in its bright character that is both approachable and structured."

"A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon 34% Merlot 13% Cabernet Franc 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 Clerc Milon opens with expressive crushed blackberries red and black plums and cigar boxes notions with suggestions of dried herbs earth and violets plus a waft of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied fine fresh and elegant it has a lovely core of very pure red and black fruits supported by finely textured tannins and finishing on a lingering perfumed note. This is a very pretty superbly poised Pauillac!"
Vinous: 92 Points
Inky blue/purplish fruit lavender spice and licorice along with the natural generosity of the vintage give the 2015 Clerc-Milon is plush sumptuous personality. Although not especially complex or nuanced the 2015 offers plenty of raciness in an accessible fleshy style that can be enjoyed with minimal fuss. From barrel the 2015 gave the impression of being quite structured but the bottled wine is far more forthcoming at this early stage. The blend is 51% Cabernet Sauvignon 34% Merlot 13% Cabernet Franc 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenère.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
This offers up a perfumed profile of gently warmed cherry and plum fruit along with notes of black tea vanilla and licorice. Shows a light sanguine twinge through the finish. Best from 2020 through 2029. ?JM
