A superb effort, the 1998 may be the finest Clerc-Milon I have tasted. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot, this is a blockbuster, over-sized offering for this estate. Full-bodied and super-extracted, with power to burn, this rich, concentrated wine demands 7-8 years of cellaring.
Aromas of earth, spices and blackberry follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a delicate fruity finish. Some currant.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
