Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #164(4/2006) Rating: 92 points Drink: 2010-2030
Consumers should take note as this estate is clearly benefiting from increased attention from the Rothschilds. The 2003 may be the finest Duhart-Milon made ... ever! A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, it boasts a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to a big, sweet perfume of black fruits interwoven with roasted herbs and meat juice offered in a muscular, full-bodied style. Full-bodied, dense, and well-structured, this stunning cuvee is best consumed between 2010-2030. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2006) Score: 92
Blackberry with toasted oak and coffee aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Lovely texture to this wine. Dense and refined. Very tight right now. One of the best I have tasted from this estate. Best after 2009. 20,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Lots of toasted, spicy oak on the nose. Sweet, sexy, with lots of exotic Asian spices. Plump, smooth. Drink 2016-36. |
