Chateau Duhart Milon 2004

The Wine Advocate: "Another sleeper of the vintage for this property that has been doing impressive work over recent vintages, the 2004 (a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) displays a dark ruby/purple color along with classic aromas of cedar, creme de cassis, earth, spice, and wood. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, long, and impressively endowed."

Wine Enthusiast: "Often outshone alongside its stablemate, Lafite, Duhart-Milon seems to be coming into its own. It is rich and polished, dominated by new wood and soft, ripe fruit. The flavors are black currant, more jelly than fruit, but the power is also here, coming with the tannins and the intense, fresh acidity."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Starting to open and show nicely with a short decant , the wine medium bodied, fresh, lively and offers fresh, red fruits, earth, cedar, herbs and tobacco leaf. Classic in style, the wine was made from a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot."
