Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2019 Clerc Milon is a real success. At more than 70% this blend contains one of the highest proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon in the property's recent history and the result is a wine of real nobility. Offering up aromas of violets wild berries licorice loamy soil and cigar wrapper it's full-bodied layered and multidimensional with notable depth at the core lively acids and ripe powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. From clay-limestone soils rather than the sandy gravels that characterize d'Armailhac this is by some margin the more structured and serious of Mouton-Rothschild's two Pauillac stablemates.
Decanter: 95 Points
Great Cabernet nose generous and quite expressive filled with blackcurrants and black plums. Rich and densely concentrated but with a cooling freshness from the limestone. Profound on the palate this makes a real impact and impression with layers of flavour that are nicely framed and direct. Soft yet muscular with a fresh menthol liquorice and softly sweet ending that really leaves a delightful lasting note. Just a brilliantly concentrated glass of wine with power and sophistication. Persistent ending will age very well. I love the texture and overall feel of this. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon 22% Merlot 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. (Drink between 2027-2044)
