Description

With a dense, blackcurranty, bramble complexity, earthy depth and gravel note of terroir, the 2009 Ch. Duhart-Milon is a very rewarding wine. A very high level of smooth, silky tannins roll across the palate towards a long length with a touch of mocha on the finish. Demonstrating the exceptional skills of the winemaking team at Lafite, this wine offers an insight into the sheer class of the glorious Grand Vin.

Critics reviews

Robert Parker
97/100
A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, it displays an inky/blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice, lead pencil, cedar and subtle barrique smells. Viscous and full-bodied, it is the most concentrated and broadest example of this cuvee I have tasted in over three decades. It will be ready to drink in 5-7 years and should last for three decades or more. Consumers looking to maximize value should be checking out Duhart Milon, as this may be the single smartest purchase in this great and historic vintage!
