Clerc Milon 1995 750ml

Château Clerc Milon is the Pauillac fifth growth owned by the Rothschild family of Mouton, with vineyards neighboring both Mouton and Lafite. The 1995 is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, from a warm, ripe Bordeaux vintage that produced generous, structured Médocs. Jeb Dunnuck found a classic Pauillac nose of ripe currants, lead pencil, licorice and loamy earth, with a layered, elegant texture and a "clean, classy style." Wine Spectator rated it even higher. Now three decades old, it is fully mature, with softened tannins and savory secondary complexity. Drink now through the early 2030s, ideally after a gentle decanting.
