Note di degustazione
While I don't find 2020 to be a particularly great vintage for second wines, the 2020 Moulin De Duhart is nevertheless a beauty with loads to love. Ripe cherries, currants, tobacco, and sandalwood all define the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a supple, elegant mouthfeel, light yet present tannins, and outstanding length. You can drink this total charming, rock-solid Pauillac any time over the coming 10-15 years.

The 2020 Moulin de Duhart is matured in two-year old oak barrels for 12 months. It contains a little less Cabernet Sauvignon than usual. It has a clean, pure nose with dark cherries, cranberry and pomegranate, an underlying tobacco scent that remains politely off stage. The palate is medium-bodied with a powdery-textured entry, quite pliant in the mouth, a healthy sprinkling of white pepper and a caressing, graphite-tinged finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
The 2020 Moulin du Duhart is a soft, supple wine that is a terrific introduction to the vintage. Plump and juicy, with no hard edges, the 2020 is an absolute delight. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years, while the fruit remains vibrant. It's a joyous 2020 that isn't trying to be something it can't be.
This is a great Moulin, an easy expression of blackberry, mocha and smoke. Enjoyable and approachable Pauillac character, quite different in feel to the main estate wine, a kick of appealing autumnal fruit, and a juiciness reflective of its cool terroir and young vines.
