2023 Chateau Duhart-Milon (Dom. de Barons Rothschild - Lafite)
So much pure graphite and lead pencil here, together with blackcurrant and iodine aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with creamy and velvety tannins that are very polished. Cedar and some tobacco box. Deep and layered. Al-dente tannins. Precise. ~ (95) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-22-2024
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon (picked late, between September 25 and October 3) and 20% Merlot, the 2023 Duhart-Milon has turned out beautifully, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, cherries and dark berries mingled with hints of mint, cedar and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with an ample core of cool but ripe fruit, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-26-2024

Inky plum, far deeper in texture and intensity than the Moulin de Duhart (in contrast to 2022, when both 1st and 2nd wines were intensely coloured). Classical Duhart on the attack, reserved and a little subdued, then in comes the waves of cassis, liqourice root, spiced plum, ink, tobacco and cigar box. High Cabernet in the blend, and it suits the style and character of Duhart. Has a ton of ageing potential, classical styled with precision, fully showcasing the enjoyment of 2023 in the right spots. Around 65% first wine, 45hl/h yield, 15% of press wine. Harvest September 7 to October 3. A buy. ~ (95) Jane Anson, Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux 4-15-2024

Cabernet-cassis nose with a touch of vanilla oak. Less concentration than 2022 but the palate long, fresh and tapered. Structured with 15% press wine in the blend. ~ (16.5) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-16-2024
The 2023 Château Duhart-Milon is much more Cabernet-dominated and has cassis, graphite, and sappy, floral, and lead pencil notes as well as medium-bodied richness. It's pure and has terrific overall balance, a notable sense of freshness (pH is 3.8), and building tannins. ~ (94) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-8-2024
