Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Florales Bouquet, dunkle Hölzer, etwas Tabak, wenig Süsse, dafür Tiefe anzeigend. Fleischiger Gaumen, klar auf Cabernet ausgerichtet, im Extrakt Heidelbeeren und Lakritze anzeigend, zeigt stützende Tannine, welche ein recht langes Leben versprechen. Kein sehr klassischer, beruhigender Duhart. warten (2022 - 2052)

Tart acids give this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine a crunchy, fresh, lively feel on the palate. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this medium-bodied 2011 reveals loads of finesse and purity, but is slightly superficial compared to recent vintages such as 2009 and 2010. It should drink well for 10-15 years.

A sinewy Pauillac, with a peppery edge, offering tobacco and savory notes that hold sway over a core of bitter cherry and red currant fruit. A chalky echo holds the finish, which has some length. Best from 2015 through 2021. –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.
