Winery: Château Duhart-Milon

Region: Bordeaux | Pauillac (Left Bank)

Grapes: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot 5% Cabernet Franc

Aging: French Oak Barrels

Tasting Notes: Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 90 Points: “An outstanding Duhart, certainly one of the best produced at this estate since the 1996, 1986, and 1982, this blend of 80.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19.5% Merlot reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as notes of lead pencil intermixed with wet stones, black currants, and a certain leafiness. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and dense, but tightly-knit, with considerable tannin, it will require patience. For those willing to wait, it will be a sleeper of the vintage.” (RP) April 2003
