Tasting Notes

"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 leafiness. 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. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019." 90pts, Robert Parker

Producer Information

Chateau Duhart Milon is a Pauillac estate owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild producing on average 28,000 cases a year. Located in Pauillac town, the property has a similar climate to that enjoyed by the Medoc: maritime, with the Gironde estuary and the Bay of Biscay combining to act as a climate regulator and the coastal pine forests sheltering the vines from the westerly and north-westerly winds. Duhart Milon's vineyards are made up of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, and border Lafite Rothschild. Vinification includes oak ageing, up to 40% new. Duhart Milon is classified as a 4eme Cru Classe.
