Duhart Milon 2010

Duhart-Milon

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 94.0

Château Duhart Milon’s first wine is often seen as a “model” of Pauillac, respected for its robust character and intense colour, with an aroma akin to rich sap. Run by Domaines Barons de Rothschild of Château Lafite Rothschild fame, Duhart Milon refuses to be overshadowed by its illustrious counterpart, and creates superb wines that enables the estate to stand out on the map. Its 76-hectare vineyard is composed of Merlot (33%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (67%) which are then aged for 14 months in 50% new oak barrels. Château Duhart Milon is usually best after about 8-12 years of bottle ageing.

Looks quite evolved rather than dense. Fresh and inky with some sweetness and remarkably little tannic influence. Strange! Spearmint but rather simple.

Gravel over limestone, similar to Château Lafite Rothschild and under the same ownership. Cooler northern exposure of the terroir requires more time to ripen, but that was no problem in 2010. This has ripe fruit with graphite and wet stone. It may not be as dense as Clerc Milon, but the expression of finesse and refinement is unmistakable. Long, subtle finish. Pleasing, high-toned fruit perfectly matches grilled lamb chops with roast potatoes.
