| Tasting Note： |
Wine Advocate #158 (4/2005) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2011-2020+
Cedar, burning embers, licorice, black currants, and espresso notes jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored, firm, tannic, powerful, and muscular style of Clerc-Milon. Quite virile, a bit angular, but at the same time packed and stacked, full and concentrated, this impressive blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot actually has higher alcohol (13.2%) than the2003. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2005) Score: 89
This shows good blackberry, licorice and tobacco aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. Needs time to mellow. Best after 2008. 6,665 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Deep, intense colour, big meaty wine with tobacco aromas, quite powerful and solidly Pauillac, showing sturdiness rather than florality, but good long term. Drink 2008-20 |
| Food Match： |
Western food: This wine will perfectly accompany grilled red meat or abalone in tasty sauce but will also enhance mushroom flavours nicely, also excellent with game.
Chinese food: Roast duck/goose,grilled lamb, roasted suckling pigeon,Spicy shrimps and crabs,dried or smoked meats,braised fish.
