18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer. Zeigt Zurückhaltung, dunkler Tabak, getrocknete Pflaumenschalen. Erst im Gaumen spürt man die dunkle Aromatik dieses sehr barock anmutenden Weines, wirkt noch sehr körnig und aufrauhend und weist somit einerseits fast eine dramatische Kraft auf, andererseita spürt man hier Konturen die eher zu einem Bourgeois passen, als zu einem Grand Cru. Ein maskuliner Duhart mit sehr viel Potential. So einen Pauillac-Brocken muss man wohl in 20 Jahren noch mehrere Stunden dekantieren. Und dann muss ganz Deftiges Essen dazu auf dem Tisch stehen. Nichts für Weicheier. warten (2025 - 2055)

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Duhart-Milon rocks up with upfront notions of baked plums, warm cassis and mulberries plus suggestions of cigar box, sandalwood, dried roses and forest floor. Full-bodied, rich and decadent in the mouth, the palate has a beautiful texture of velvety, fantastically ripe tannins and lovely freshness, finishing very long and very classy.

The 2010 Duhart-Milon has an intense but tightly coiled nose of black fruit laced with cedar and mint. I would have liked to see a little more precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and very well judged acidity. There is an appealing sense of symmetry here with fine precision and tension on the finish. Excellent. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.

Well-polished, with sleek edges to the fleshy plum, cassis and blackberry fruit, while the finish is embedded with black licorice and violet notes. Approachable now, but the stuffing is there to cellar this for a bit. Drink now through 2025. –JM
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.
