Critical Acclaim
RP90Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A strong case can be made that this is the finest Duhart produced since the 1982. The color is a saturated dark ruby/purple. The bouquet offers aromas of blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, minerals, and dried herbs. Rich and intense, with considerable finesse, medium to full body, and outstanding concentration and purity, this should be a reasonably priced wine. It reflects the increased attention Lafite's administrator, Charles Chevalier, has been giving this nearby estate. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.
A much more intense cedar, blackberry nose. Still quite backward and classic in style. Well-structured palate, good definition, fresh, cedary, pencil-shavings. Robust on the finish. Masculine, but very class indeed. Needs 10+ years. Tasted September 2006.

On the borderline between velvety/voluptuous and oxidised. Very attractive evolved nose. Rich start and then very neat. Chunky and lively.

Approaching its 20th anniversary, this jewel from Duhart-Milon displays a lovely, classic Paulliac nose that keeps getting better with time in the glass.
Initially tight after the long hibernation, notes of black berries, forest wet soil, new leather, liquorice and pencil shavings slowly emerge, pleasing the nose and palate.
Smooth and incredibly precise in the mouth, it ends a touch short and dry. It has the stuff to keep going for another decade if not longer. Magnifique. +9/10
