Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Clerc Milon 2020 Pauillac:
The 2020 Clerc Milon - a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot with just a splash of Carmenere - has a deep garnet-purple color, opening with notes of tar, unsmoked cigars, bouquet garni and graphite, giving way to a core of ripe black and red currants, boysenberries and tree bark, plus a touch of black olives. The medium-bodied palate delivers fantastic tension and impressively ripe, fine-grained tannins to support the crunchy, energetic black fruit flavors, finishing with a lively herbal lift.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Clerc Milon 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:
Very pure character to this wine with crushed fruit and round tannins. It’s really transparent and delicate, yet bold at the same time. Super tannins. Vivid. Very primary and berry-like. May well turn out to be even better than this in bottle.
Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 93-95 Punkten bewertet
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feines Bukett nach Cassis und Brombeeren, zart nach Orangenzesten, mineralischer Touch, noch etwas zurückhaltend. Saftig, gute Komplexität, reife Herzkirschen, fruchtige Süße, reife Tannine, Nougat im Abgang, gute Länge, ein stoffiger Speisen- begleiter mit gutem Reifepotenzial.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Clerc Milon:
The 2020 Clerc Milon has a crisp, well-defined bouquet that you might suspect derives from a cooler growing season. Mainly black fruit here, along with cedar and light sea spray/estuarine scents, unfolding nicely in the glass but always keeping something back. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. An elegant rather than powerful Clerc Milon, with a slightly ferrous, well-structured but never grippy finish and a saline aftertaste. Give this 4–5 years in bottle. Classic Pauillac through and through.
