spicy pear chutney and invigorating sea air wowed me

The rich stone fruit flavours are nicely balanced by a brightness

Vintage Ports are a selection of the very best wines from an exceptional year and represent only a small portion of the harvest

The palate opens with honey and buttered toast

and an intriguing steely note

Chateau Clerc Milon, Pastourelle de Clerc Milon 2012 Demi-Sec spicy pear chutney and invigoratingA colour of deepest garnet in the glass. The nose is beautiful full of earthy overtones, some spice on the nose and soft black berry fruit. The palate leaps out with black berry and dark cherry upfront. Balanced with well integrated oak, freshly cut wood and fresh tobacco leaves. There are some rich tannins. Full bodied, medium high acidity. Medium length on the finish.
