Château Duhart-Milon 2020

Very fine, with beautiful aromas of redcurrant, berries and subtle notes of chocolate and coffee. The wine is ample and very subtle with fine tannins which have a long finish. What purity and finesse, all well structured. Fresh and tasty.

Restrained and sombre at first, but carefully constructed, with a rippling muscular texture, full of firm tannins with bright acidities underneath. Like the precision and the slightly austere cool blue fruits, pencil lead and liquorice root. Elegant, precise, feels very Pauillac in its density combined with fine tannins that have life and lift on the finish. Harvest September 9 to 29. First vintage in the new cellar.

Elegant bouquet, of good intensity. Nuances of blueberries, black pepper and cinnamon. On the palate the wine is precise and fine. Its tannins are tight, perfectly integrated and in phase with the acid structure. A Duhart wine with character. Straight, balanced and of good breadth. From the attack and until the finale. 2026-2050 93-94/100

Dark, intense and purple color. Very aromatic, fine nose, with ripe, pure and subtle fruitiness. Tender on the attack, then very meticulous in its texture, the wine advances silky, velvety, gaining momentum at the end of the palate. It finishes long and more precise than ever in its tannic structure, with a feeling of refinement. Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot. Alcohol content: 13° - pH: 3.9 (average) - IPT: 68 (particularly reasonable this year). Production: 65% of the harvest. Note that this beautiful rendering benefits from the commissioning of a new cellar which has 60% additional vats.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Duhart-Milon comes skipping out of the glass with vibrant notes of crushed black cherries, black raspberries and plum preserves, plus an exotic spice undercurrent of cumin seed, star anise and cardamom, with an earthy touch of black truffles. The medium-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating, juicy black fruits with a plush texture and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.
