17 Rene Gabriel
Arrivage (18/20): Margaux-artige, rotbeerige Nase mit Süsse. Reich, vielschichtig, hat Charme. Dicht strukturiert, grosser Wein. 98: Impérialeflasche: Noch immer viel junge Farbreflexe, fein aufhellender Rand. Leicht schweissiges, stalliges Bouquet, Ledertöne, Korinthensüsse, dahinter aber auch Pflaumentöne, brauchte fast eine Stunde, um sich zu öffnen. Im Gaumen Spitzwegerich, leicht bitter, keine Fruchtreserven mehr, vielmehr schon erste Terroirtöne. Ein klassischer Bordeaux, den man dekantieren sollte. 17/20 trinken - 2005 vorbei ( - 2005)

Gorgeous, firm wine. Good dark ruby color. Lovely berry, cherry, currant aromas. Full-bodied, with firm, well-integrated tannins and a long finish. Needs time.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2005. 13,000 cases made. ?JS
88 Robert Parker
The 1990, with its lead pencil and cassis-scented nose, is firm and unevolved, but there appears to be more on the palate and the finish is longer. There is a strong weedy, cassis, Cabernet character to the wine, as well as a sense of elegance, balance, rich extract, and tannin. Anticipated maturity: Now-2007. Last tasted 1/96
Producer
Château Duhart Milon
erhaps the most impressionable estate in the appellation, the 4ème Grand Cru Classé, Château Duhart-Milon can be recognized by their recent renascence. In the early 18th century, the Pauillac region began a widespread grape cultivation, eventually producing Château Lafite’s second wine, Château Duhart-Milon. Centuries and various owners later, Château Duhart-Milon has landed back in the hands of the Rothschild family. From the 1960s under the leadership of the Rothschild family, the château has gone through a major resurgence and quality has returned to their Fourth Growth status. Producing model Pauillac wines year after year, the estate’s largest single plot remains on the Milon hillside, just west of the similarly owned, Château Lafite Rothschild on the Carruades plateau. Today, the estate produces two traditional wines with the same care and attention as those of Lafite. The reliable Grand Vin, Château Duhart-Milon is produced along with their second wine, Moulin de Duhart, which has been crafted from their younger vineyards.
