Duhart Milon Rothschild 2015 (750ML)

90 JD / 93-95 GV / 91-92 JS / 90-92 WA / 90-92 AG

The 2015 Duhart Milon is a surprisingly charming, elegant and medium-bodied Pauillac that’s 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that was brought up in 40% new French oak. With perfumed notes of spice-box, cedarwood, toast, and sweet black currant fruit, it has sweet tannin and is already accessible, yet will cruise for two decades. - Jeb Dunnuck (formerly Wine Advocate)

A firm and silky red with blackberry and chocolate character. Hints of walnut. Full and chewy. Fresh finish.  - James Suckling

The 2015 Duhart Milon is soft, open knit and expressive, with gorgeous dark red and purplish fruit pushed forward and pretty spiced notes that add complexity. Medium in body and gracious, the 2015 should drink nicely with minimal cellaring. This is a very pretty, understated Duhart. The blend is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

The 2015 Duhart Milon is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot picked between September 23 and October 6, the September 17 23 respectively. It will eventually see 40% new oak during its elevage. It has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and cassis fruit, moderate complexity, perhaps just a little static at the moment. The palate is medium bodied with quite supple tannin for the normally obdurate Duhart Milon, the acidity nicely judged with a pleasing salinity towards the finish. I would just like to see more personality come through by the time of bottling. Otherwise, this is a fine Duhart Milon that is more compromising than the tannic beasts of yesteryear, and it should drink after 5 7 years in bottle. - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

Bing cherries, wet stone, and ripe red currants, followed by concentrated ripe cherry fruit and a lingering finish. GVWM
