1996 Chateau Clerc Milon Bordeaux RP--90

Robert Parker: 90 Points
Wine Advocate # 122 Apr 1999 Robert Parker 90 Drink: 2005 - 2018 $66-$112 This is among the finest wines I have ever tasted from this estate. Lavishly oaked, with gobs of pain grille and rich fruit, it is massive and concentrated. The color is dense ruby/purple. The bouquet offers notes of roasted coffee, tobacco, and jammy cassis. Although surprisingly soft and opulent on the attack, the mid-section and finish reveal the wine's full body, high flavor extraction, and moderate tannin. This complete, large-scaled Clerc-Milon will be at its finest between 2005-2018.
