Chateau Duhart Milon- Pauillac

The History

An outstanding Duhart, certainly one of the best produced at this estate since the
1996, 1986, and 1982, this blend of 80.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19.5% Merlot
reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as notes of lead pencil intermixed with
wet stones, black currants, and a certain leatiness. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and
dense, but tightly-knit, with considerable tannin, it will require patience. For those
willing to wait, it will be a sleeper of the vintage.

Tasting Notes

International Wine Cellarlssue
Issue 96
Bright ruby-red. Currant, shoe polish, currant leaf and nutty oak on the nose.
Chunkier and fleshier than the Carruades de Lafite-in fact, almost rustic by compar-
ison-but with firm supporting acidity. Rather backward wine that will need at least
a few years of aging once it bottled.

Jancis Robinson
Big, beefy, meat extract with lots of alcohol and lots there if a little earthbound.
Full but a bit heavy.
