CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Clerc Milon was shaded by the d'Armailhac when compared out of barrel. That is still the case in bottle. This is more backward and a little taciturn by comparison, though still attractive with blackberry, wild hedgerow and touches of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a succulent, fleshy opening. It is a more approachable Clerc Milon than other vintages, though d'Armailhac just has a tad more complexity and <em>joie-de-vivre</em>.

59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenere.Very dark crimson. Marked stony/mineral character over the deep, dark, non-sweet fruit. Smells like a stone quarry. Elegant in its power. Even after tasting many tannic wines, this stands out for its tannic elegance. Fresh on the finish even if the tannins are making the strongest impression at the moment. (JH)
