2010 Château Clerc Milon, Pauillac, Bordeaux

This is the wine you taste just before Mouton-Rothschild itself - but this is by no means a Freddo to the Godfather’s mighty Don Corleone. In fact, it’s far more Sonny: masculine, cool and defined. It is a fraction of the price of its big brother and is as good, if not better, than the brilliant 1990. Try it in bottles and magnums if possible; it will be an offer you can't refuse!
(50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Carmenère)
