00 Clos Fourtet and 02 Clerc Milon
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2015 11:34 pm
Diner with my brother and some other friends last Sunday, good time to open some Bordeaux.
00 Clos Fourtet: still dark red, nose of tobacco, prunes, rasberries, oak vanilla, dark red berries. In mouth, big, ripe, seductive, lost of creamy dark berries, ripe tannins, light chocolate. Thick with a long finish. An exçellent wine, with 10 more years to go. Tn: 90-91+.
02 Clerc Milon: dark red color, nose with a light green végétal touch, but with strong blackcurrants, darkberries, graphite and minerals. In mouth, more structure, more acidity, more grip than the St-Émilion. Medium blackcurrant and blackberries, ready to go, with a niçe old leather and lead pencil finish. Tn: 91.
Two different and excellent Bordeaux. It was difficult to prefer one to the other, even if very different wines.
