90 Robert Parker
A strong case can be made that this is the finest Duhart produced since the 1982. The color is a saturated dark ruby/purple. The bouquet offers aromas of blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, minerals, and dried herbs. Rich and intense, with considerable finesse, medium to full body, and outstanding concentration and purity, this should be a reasonably priced wine. It reflects the increased attention Lafite's administrator, Charles Chevalier, has been giving this nearby estate. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020

97: Eine solch tiefe Farbe sah ich noch selten bei einem Duhart; Violett mit schwarzen Reflexen. Reifes, fast pflaumiges Bouquet, marmeladiger, nahezu Malaga-hafter Unterton. Eher leichter, aber sehr eleganter Gaumen, florale Extraktnote, leichte Bitterkeit darin. 16/20 2002 – 2016 trinken (2002 - 2016)

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.
