Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Barockes, trocken wirkendes Bouquet, schwarze Pilze, getrocknete Pflaumen, wirkt leicht staubig. Im Gaumen irgendwie auch trocken, die Adstringenz zeigt sich dementsprechend mit recht mürben Tanninen, wenigstens der Nachklang ist so richtig Médoc und auch in Bisschen Pauillac. Klassischer Duhart, schon fast im alten Stil.

Red currant, cherry and pomegranate notes form the core and flesh out steadily through the finish, picking up apple wood and anise accents along the way. Features polished grip through the finish, with a light echo of loam lending some contrast. Best from 2017 through 2025. 25,000 cases made. –JM

This property has enjoyed the considerable investments from the Rothschild family and the quality of the wines over the last generation has been increasingly impressive. I’ve always written that if you can’t afford Lafite Rothschild, why not try Duhart Milon, which is not far off the quality of its much more famous neighbor. Spicy, deep ruby/purple with notes of cassis, cedar wood and spice box, the wine is soft, round, juicy, medium-bodied and ideal for drinking now and over the next 15 or so years. It is not one of their finest efforts, but it is certainly well-made, supple-textured and seductive.
