Duhart Milon
Bordeaux
Burgundy
4th Growth Duhart-Milon is often described as a classic version of the Pauillac appellation. It has a distinguished and reserved character. The courtier Abraham Lawton noted as early as 1815 that “it has firm taste, a fine colour, and a pronounced sap”.This strong personality of Château Duhart-Milon remains accurate today. The wine consists of around 70-80%Cabernet Sauvignon and 20-30% Merlot. The wine spends around 14 to 16 months in barrels (50% in new ones).

Tasting Notes: The 2005 Duhart-Milon is not far behind the 2003 (which I rated 94 points). A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot, it reflects the fact that the Rothschilds and their administrator, Charles Chevalier, have been making a major effort to increase quality at this property. Firm and structured, with a deep ruby/purple color and hints of graphite, black currants, licorice, smoke, and earth, it possesses a textured, rich, pure center, strong tannins, and real elegance as well as length. Four to six years of bottle age will be required, and it should last for 20-25 years. The Wine Advocate #170 Apr-07. Parker Points: 94 Drinking Period: 2011-2032 |
