    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot. The 2009 Duhart Milon is yet another success from this high flying fourth growth. A considerable step up in quality (from Carruades), packed with liquid minerals, violets, graphite, damsons and sweet blackcurrants. The palate is massive with huge levels of glycerine, enormous extract, yet pure and silky. There is a very sweet and succulent quality to this wine as well as wonderful texture and refined flavours; a stylish Duhart.

    You can't go far wrong with this superb 2009. Has a kick in its step compared to many vintages of Duhart around this time, which tend to be a little more austere and buttoned up. This is infused by the generosity of the vintage, without going too far from its signature Pauillac reticence, delivering graphite, cedar, sandalwood, cassis, brambled blackberries and tons of cigar box and sage spice. Philippe Dhalluin director, under Rothschild ownership since 1962. Definitely in its drinking window, but going nowhere anytime soon.

    The 2009 Duhart-Milon is recalcitrant on the nose, refusing to give much away in terms of aromas. Loamy, peaty scents emerge with time amongst the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, fresh in the mouth with good salinity. There is something estuarine about this Pauillac that lends it personality and its grip on the finish suggesting that it will give many more years of drinking pleasure. This has long been an impressive Duhart-Milon and so it is proven here. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
