2000 Clerc-Milon, Pauillac juicy red and purple fruits

juicy red and purple fruits brought together with a backbone of allspice

Spicy on the refreshing finish

Juicy cranberry

Full and rich on the palate but with pop and lift that you don't always see from the varietal

this was a more elegant and firm vintage for most of the State

2000 Clerc-Milon, Pauillac juicy red and purple fruitsA beautiful wine and one of my favorites from this estate, this blend of nearly two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one third Merlot is aging impressively. Dense ruby purple in color, with creme de cassis, charcoal, and sweet leathery and chocolatey notes intermixed with the classic Pauillac cedar and spice box, the wine is medium to full bodied, fleshy, with sweet tannin and a long finish.
