CRITIC REVIEWS
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Tart acids give this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine a crunchy, fresh, lively feel on the palate. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this medium-bodied 2011 reveals loads of finesse and purity, but is slightly superficial compared to recent vintages such as 2009 and 2010. It should drink well for 10-15 years.

A Duhart that was particularly subdued when young, it is continuing to develop and will be even better in two or three years. Plenty of juice, dark fruits and firm tannins. Its a wine with so much freshness that you get a beautifully salivating finish. Not exuberant but well placed, well balanced fruit and a quiet confidence. A yield of 47hl/ha. 50% new oak.
