A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, it displays an inky/blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice, lead pencil, cedar and subtle barrique smells. Viscous and full-bodied, it is the most concentrated and broadest example of this cuvee I have tasted in over three decades. It will be ready to drink in 5-7 years and should last for three decades or more. Consumers looking to maximize value should be checking out Duhart Milon, as this may be the single smartest purchase in this great and historic vintage!<br/><br/>Since few consumers other than Chinese billionaires can afford wines such as Lafite Rothschild, perhaps it is time for readers to take a look at Duhart Milon, which sells for less than Lafite’s second wine. The Rothschilds have invested heavily in resurrecting this property to near super-star status, and the 2009 appears to be the finest Duhart I have ever tasted.

The 2009 Duhart-Milon is recalcitrant on the nose, refusing to give much away in terms of aromas. Loamy, peaty scents emerge with time amongst the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, fresh in the mouth with good salinity. There is something estuarine about this Pauillac that lends it personality and its grip on the finish suggesting that it will give many more years of drinking pleasure. This has long been an impressive Duhart-Milon and so it is proven here. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Schönes Pflaumenbouquet, ein Hauch Dörrfrüchte,. Kakaobohnen und dunkle Ledernoten. Schöner Gaumen, schon fast erhaben mit viel Noblesse, Tabaknoten, Trüffel und Korinthen, im Finale Teer und Lakritze. Hier bahnt sich vielleicht einer der grössten Duhart's der Geschichte an. warten (2016 - 2034)

This takes a fleshy, rather toasty approach, showing roasted plum and black currant fruit, with a smoked mesquite note on the loam-tinged finish. There's more breadth than depth, but this has the latent minerality to last a long time in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2027. –JM

Château Duhart Milon
Probabilmente la tenuta più imponente della denominazione, Château Duhart-Milon, Quatrième Grand Cru Classé, è riconosciuta per la sua recente rinascita. All'inizio del XVIII secolo nel Pauillac si diffuse la coltivazione dell'uva, arrivando a produrre il secondo vino di Château Lafite, Château Duhart-Milon. Dopo alcuni secoli e diversi cambi di proprietà, Château Duhart-Milon ritornò nelle mani della famiglia Rothschild. Dagli anni Sessanta, sotto la guida della famiglia Rothschild, lo Château ha vissuto un grande rilancio e la qualità è tornata a livelli da Quatrième Cru, producendo vini Pauillac modello anno dopo anno. L'appezzamento singolo più grande della tenuta si trova sulla collina di Milon, a ovest di Château Lafite Rothschild, degli stessi proprietari, sull'altopiano di Carruades. Oggi la tenuta produce due vini tradizionali con la stessa cura e attenzione di quelli di Château Lafite. Il Grand Vin adatto all'invecchiamento, Château Duhart-Milon, viene prodotto insieme al secondo vino, Moulin de Duhart, ottenuto dai vigneti più giovani.
