| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saskia de Rothschild en Jean-Guillaume Prats kwamen in 2018 naast Eric Kohler aan het roer van Lafite Rothschild. Duhart Milon maakt onmiddellijk een statement. Duhart is een ware Médocain met typische Cabernet aroma’s (cassis, ceder en potlood of grafiet), krijt en warme kruiden. De eigenschappen van het wijnjaar verstevigen nog de “ruggengraat” en structuur, zonder té ver te gaan. Het evenwicht is wonderbaarlijk en het geheel beheerst. Excellent en misschien wel de beste Duhart Milon ooit! 65% Cabernet Sauvignon en 35% Merlot. 14%vol. IN DE PERS 94 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Maart 2021) Just as it was from barrel, the 2018 Duhart-Milon is a real powerhouse. Black cherry, gravel, spice, espresso and savory herbs infuse the 2018 with notable depth and power. A brooding, virile wine, the Duhart-Milon packs a serious punch. I would give it a few years to soften. The 2018 has really come together since en primeur. In fact, the bottled wine bears little semblance to the en primeur sample, which is a very good thing. There is real density and weight here, with all of the natural richness of the year. Drink 2026-2043. 88-90 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (April 2019) The 2018 Duhart-Milon is a dense, powerful wine. Black cherry, licorice, dark spice, coffee, gravel and grilled herbs add to an impression of gravitas and brooding power. In 2018, Duhart-Milon is a wine of vertical build and intensity. The elevated ripeness of the vintage is very much in evidence in the wine's flavor profile and richness. It will be interesting to see how the 2018 develops during élevage. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. 95-96 James Suckling – jamessuckling.com (April 2019) This is a very powerful Duhart with blackcurrant and blackberry character. Lots of graphite and black tea. Full-bodied and muscular with lots of formed muscles and great length. Could be best ever? This is a very powerful Duhart with blackcurrant and blackberry character.

Could be best ever? 95 Jane Anson – decanter.com (April 2019) A wine that is often austere during En Primeur but is here showing its seductive side with a generous texture lending a wonderful richness through the palate giving it the feel of a 2009, although clearly loaded with tannins, but of a softer style than 2010 or 2016. It has a juiciness rippling with bramble fruit on the attack, then the herb, slate and liquorice root come in through the mid-palate adding complexity and gravitas. Harvest took place between 17 September and 4 October. 73IPT. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040 93-95 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – roberparker.com (April 2019) The 2018 Duhart-Milon is composed of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, with the Cabernet Sauvignon harvested September 25 to October 4 and the Merlot harvested September 17-25, and it has 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of Black Forest cake, plum preserves and crème de cassis with hints of spice cake, woodsmoke, potpourri and eucalyptus. Full-bodied, rich and laden with layers of black fruit preserves and spices, it has a velvety texture and just enough freshness, finishing long. Very impressive—the densest, most opulent Duhart I have tasted! 94-96+ Jeb Dunnuck – jebdunnuck.com (April 2019) The 2018 Château Duhart-Milon checks in as a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot that hit 14% alcohol. Beautiful black currants, smoked earth, chocolate, and damp earth notes flow to a medium to full-bodied, incredibly elegant Duhart-Milon that has ultra-fine tannins, a weightless texture, terrific balance, and a great finish. Seemingly all about finesse and elegance, it builds nicely on the palate and has a great finish. It should match or exceed the brilliant 2009. 17,5/20 Julia Harding – jancisrobinson.com (April 2019) 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot. Barrel sample. Black core with barely a rim. So wonderfully scented, like the Clerc Milon. Blackcurrant tea, pure cassis, almost floral, but so pretty. Firm and dry but super-refined on the palate, dry tannic finesse. Finely balanced for the long term. Dark and savoury and full of such refined elegance and dark finesse. A beauty. (JH) 14% Drink 2028-2038 Duhart MilonIn de stal van Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Château Lafite Rothschild) vinden we ook Duhart Milon. Domaines Barons de Rothschild kocht in 1962 17ha en bouwde uit tot 110ha gelegen ten Westen van Lafite op de Milon helling met een wijngaard van 75ha Quatrième Cru Classé. Dit broertje voor Lafite lijkt soms rebels en altijd robuust en eerlijk, maar wordt even zeer gekoesterd door Saskia de Rothschild en haar team. Vooral in recentere wijnjaren is deze Pauillac bijzonder verdienstelijk gebleken. |
