Château Duhart Milon 2022

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Falstaff

Dark ruby in colour with an opaque core, purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the rim. On the nose, an attractive bouquet with delicate fine oak spice, dark nougat, blackberry, cassis, and some bourbon vanilla. The palate is complex, juicy, yet very elegant, with ripe berry fruit, fresh, sweet cherry, integrated, ripe tannins, and a fine chocolatey touch on the persistent, delicately saline finish, a great achievement, already very seductive.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Duhart-Milon is showing beautifully, bursting from the glass with aromas of mulberries, blackcurrants, pencil shavings and rose petal. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and textural, it's sweet and layered, with a gourmand core of fruit underpinned by powdery tannins and lively acids. A decade ago, Duhart could be a somewhat austere wine, but today it's much more integrated and harmonious. The 2022 is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot.

Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Château Duhart-Milon is all finesse and elegance, offering cassis, black raspberry, spring flowers, spicy wood, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, it’s incredibly pure, layered, and seamless, with utter class from start to finish. You can safely drink bottles anytime over the coming 30 years.

James Suckling

The tension here comes from chalky tannins and lovely tobacco, herbs, cedar and cigar-box character. Currants and blue fruits. It's medium-bodied with lovely fruit and light-citrus bitterness. Firm and intense with an excellent finish. One of the best Duharts I have tasted. Try after 2028.
