justerini & brooks tasting note

Black and red berries on the nose, with violet hints; the palate begins quite rich and builds in concentration with heaps of fruit flavour. The tannins are quite firm but fine, giving a good underlying structure, and the finish is wrapped in sweet, ripe black fruit.

critic reviews

90/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2005 Duhart-Milon is a bit of a beast. Displays quite a dense, unforgiving pencil lead and tobacco-scented nose, and the fruit seems to take a back seat at the moment. The palate is well-balanced but undeniably brawny and rough-hewn, the kind of Pauillac you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley at midnight. This is a bit hard going at the moment. This was an ex-château bottle served at Maison François in London.

93/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

This property, which has benefitted enormously from tremendous investments from the Rothschild family that owns Lafite, has turned out a dense purple-colored wine in 2005. Offering broad, expansive, supple and silky tannin as well as loads of Asian plum sauce, blackcurrants, and sweet cherries, this wine is seductive, medium to full-bodied, and luscious. This successful effort from the Rothschilds should continue to drink well for at least another two decades.
