Chateau Duhart Milon 2012

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This marks an impressive step forward for this wine that´s so often been in the shadows of other wines in the Lafite-Rothschild stable. It´s dense and structured as well as deliciously fruity. The wine is straight down the line, starting with perfumed acidity and finishing with blackberry fruit. Intense and tannic, it´s likely to age. Drink from 2020."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Lots of currants, dried strawberries, sweet tobacco and cedar on the nose. Full to medium body and a solid structure. Reminds me of some outstanding Lafites of the 1980s such as 1985. A little tight and closed. Try in 2020."

WEINWISSER: 17 RENE GABRIEL´S BX TOTAL: "Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Barockes, trocken wirkendes Bouquet, schwarze Pilze, getrocknete Pflaumen, wirkt leicht staubig. Im Gaumen irgendwie auch trocken, die Adstringenz zeigt sich dementsprechend mit recht mürben Tanninen, wenigstens der Nachklang ist so richtig Médoc und auch in Bisschen Pauillac. Klassischer Duhart, schon fast im alten Stil." Drink 2020-2040

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: 90 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Merlot – The wine offers sweet dark berries, freshness and a sweet and tart, red and dark berry finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Red currant, cherry and pomegranate notes form the core and flesh out steadily through the finish, picking up apple wood and anise accents along the way. Features polished grip through the finish, with a light echo of loam lending some contrast." Drink 2017-2025.
