The 2014 Chateau Clerc-Milon, a gem from Pauillac, is a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux winemaking. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, it presents a deep garnet red hue that whispers of its depth and complexity. Upon decanting for two hours, it reveals a symphony of perfectly ripe fruit, graphite, and aromatic verbena, leading to a full-bodied attack that crescendos into a rich and harmonious balance. The tannins are well-rounded, silky, and creamy, supporting a spicy, judicious oak expression. The finish is long and full, sustained by an attractive freshness with vanilla and forest floor notes. Pair this exquisite wine with roast lamb or Beef Wellington to elevate your dining experience.
