Château Clerc-Milon--Vintage 2000
Pauillac, 5me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: This flamboyant, dense, opaque purple-colored wine, made from a blend of 67 Cabernet Sauvignon and 33 Merlot, is muscular, with an unctuous texture and high levels of tannin as well as extract. Compared to its other sibling in the Mouton-Rothschild stable, d'Armailhac, it is far more closed and tannic but still somewhat ostentatious, with smoky, leathery notes intermixed with oodles of black fruits and spice box. The wine may, however, have trouble eclipsing the brilliant 2001. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. 92 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146, April 2003
