Note di degustazione
With a pitch-black nose of dark berry fruit, spice, plenty of cedar and graphite, the 2023 Duhart-Milon is exceptionally well built on the palate. There’s fantastic structure here, with ripe tannins over which the fruit is elegantly draped, flowing from the concentrated core to the long finish. Aged in 50% new oak, with a little more amphora this year (15%) and the rest used oak, with 13% alcohol. Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot

The 2023 Duhart-Milon is quite the powerhouse. A blast of dark-toned fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather, incense, licorice and dried herbs all stain the palate. This is an especially dense Duhart that really explodes on the back end. This is a big, big wine.
Deep purple-hued, the 2023 Château Duhart-Milon offers up undeniably classic Pauillac notes of cassis, graphite, smoky tobacco, scorched earth, and darker currants. Based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, it's medium to full-bodied and has a wonderfully balanced, layered mouthfeel, ripe, supple tannins, and outstanding length. It's another terrific effort from this estate that will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise over the following two decades. Drink 2029-2049.
The 2023 Duhart-Milon was impressive from barrel and now in bottle, it has retained generosity on the nose with black plum, mint, cedar and touches of blueberry and blossom in the glass while retaining wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, wonderful poise, far removed from the austere Duharts of old. (Eric Kohler attributes this to the new cellar with improved vin de presse. There is also concurrent replanting of some of the older parcels.) Excellent.
