Please read: This wine is a Bordeaux Future. It is not expected to arrive in stock until Spring/Summer 2006. “Along with the 1982, this is the greatest Duhart-Milon I have ever tasted. A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that tips the scales at 13.2% alcohol (relatively high), this is a breakthrough effort and clearly a sleeper of the vintage. Deep ruby/purple to the rim with a stunning nose of charcoal, lead pencil shavings, black currants, and plums, the wine has a full-bodied, super-endowed, concentrated palate, beautiful purity, low acidity, but surprising freshness and vigor. The tannin is elevated, but sweet and well-integrated. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. 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.” – Rated 90-93, Robert Parker “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)” – Rated 91, Wine Spectator Decanter Review 4 stars Very deep ruby, smoky and powerful nose, quite severe on the attack, but fatter and fleshier as the wine progresses over the palate, very good structure and Cabernet Sauvignon length. 2010-25.
