Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #158(4/2005) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2005-2020
This is an excellent effort boasting notes of cedar, spice box, earth, and red and black currants in a medium-bodied, elegant style that exhibits the hand prints of Lafite Rothschild. A pure wine, it should age nicely for 10-15 years. Duhart is a chateau to watch as the Rothschilds (of Lafite) are making serious investments and pushing full-throttle to upgrade the quality and image of this estate. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2005) Score: 88
A firm wine with cedar, coffee and berry character. Medium-bodied, with firm, silky tannins and a medium finish. Pretty. Best after 2008. 20,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Discreet, refined yet rich scented. Very elegant, with a fine depth of fruit. Impeccable tannins, the whole as natural as a well-fitting glove. Drink 2010-20. (17.5 points) |
