Château Clerc-Milon--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 5me cru classé. Château-bottled
In original wooden case without lid
Tasting note: The 1986 is among the greatest Clerc-Milon in my memory, and continues to represent one of the better values of the 1986 vintage. Dark ruby/purple with a super bouquet of sweet, toasty new oak, plums, black currants, licorice, and cedar, on the palate, the wine is very concentrated, rich and powerful, yet atypically soft and fleshy for a 1986. While this wine should age well for another two decades, it can be drunk much earlier than many of the 1986 Pauillacs. It is a sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2006. Last tasted, 1/91. RP, Bordeaux, Third Edition
