93 100Yves Beck75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot Belle intensité violacée. On ressent encore l’élevage au nez mais des arômes de cerise noire et de cassis, ainsi qu’une touche minérale, arrivent à se frayer un passage. En bouche il est doté d’une attaque souple. Il a du corps, de l’ampleur et est bien soutenu par ses tannins. Ces derniers sont d’ailleurs dotés d’une très belle densité et ont un caractère granuleux très fins. La finale est fruitée, élégante et de bonne longueur. Un vin très fin avec un beau potentiel. 2017-2030 91-93/100. Avril 2012.

92 100DecanterCouleur sombre, intense et évoluée. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité et profond. Nuances de fruits mûrs. Touche de cèdre. Ample à l'attaque, fondant au développement, aromatique, avec du corps et surtout aucun angle tannique, le vin s'étire en finale, avec un retour des saveurs décrites au nez. Un assemblage de 75 % cabernet sauvignon et 25 % merlot. Un degré d'alcool modéré à 12°5. Juillet 2020.

92 100DecanterA Duhart that was particularly subdued when young, it is continuing to develop and will be even better in two or three years. Plenty of juice, dark fruits and firm tannins. It's a wine with so much freshness that you get a beautifully salivating finish. Not exuberant but well placed, well balanced fruit and a quiet confidence. A yield of 47hl/ha. 50% new oak. Drinking window: 2021 - 2034. Jane Anson. February 2021.

92 100Wine EnthusiastDuhart-Milon continues to get better and more sophisticated. This 2011 vintage shows that trend well with its elegant spice, black currant fruits and firm tannins. The fruitiness is well focused, with typical Cabernet acidity bringing out the fresher side of the wine. Drink from 2017. Roger Voss. January 2014.

92 100James SucklingI am impressed with this for the vintage. It’s full and round with a succulent, juicy structure, silky tannins and a plum, cocoa, cedar and berry aftertaste. Outstanding harmony for 2011. Try in 2017. February 2014.

91 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateTart acids give this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine a crunchy, fresh, lively feel on the palate. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this medium-bodied 2011 reveals loads of finesse and purity, but is slightly superficial compared to recent vintages such as 2009 and 2010. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Drinking window: 2012 - 2027. 89-91/100. Robert M. Parker Jr. April 2012.

Dark and intense purple with luminous reflections.
Aromas of blackberry and licorice.
Delicious and juicy entry in the mouth, rather tight, precise tannins which reveal themselves gently, well balanced. A straight vintage with good aging potential.
The Château Duhart-Milon vineyard extends almost a block to the west of Château Lafite Rothschild, on the Milon hillside which extends the Carruades de Lafite plateau. The property includes 76 ha of vines. The soils are fine gravel mixed with aeolian sand on a subsoil of tertiary limestone.
Malolactic fermentation in barrels, aging for 18 months in stave oak barrels with gravity racking.
