Duhart Milon 2018

Duhart-Milon

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 96.0

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.

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Lifted, aromatic. Sweet and juicy – maybe just a bit too sweet? The sweetness of the fruit very much distracts from the tannins which are not quite as ripe as some. But it’s impressively long.

I was slightly disappointed in the 2018 Château Duhart-Milon, and while its certainly a beautiful wine, its not in the same league as the 2009, as I thought when tasting it from barrel. Nevertheless, it has impressive notes of red and black currants, new leather, tobacco leaf, and lead pencil shavings to go with a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant style on the palate. It has some up-front appeal, as the tannins are ripe and polished, yet its going to improve over the coming 4-6 years or so and should hold nicely for 20 years or more.
