    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Duhart Milon is a terroir that excels in warm vintages. Anyone who has tasted the 2003 recently will know that this is one of the standout wines of the vintage. Good as their 2003 is, 2022 goes to another level. This is a purists' wine: sleek and correct, a classically styled, handsome Pauillac, brimming with nervy tension and aristocratic flavours. Plenty of violet soaked cassis on the nose, hints of liquorice, clove, bright cherries, spearmint and forest fruits. The palate is deep and concentrated yet brimming with life. Engaging and long with a wonderful saline finish, notes of strawberries and cracked chocolate. An absolute delight, this will rival their epic 2009, although, this is a more linear, refined style. Sensational. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Duhart-Milon underwent a short 15- to 18-day maceration and is raised in 50% new oak and the rest one-year-old barrels. It has a very graphite/mint-scented nose that is Pauillac through and through. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine tannins. This is beautifully sculpted with a vibrant pencil lead-tinged finish reminiscent of Grand Puy Lacoste. The 2022 is a fabulous Duhart-Milon that should give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure. It's a Pauillac a bit like the late Steven Spurrier insofar that it's a Pauillac always conservatively dressed in a pin-striped suit, but that's the essence of Duhart.

    Made from 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, the 2022 Duhart-Milon is deep garnet-purple in color. It rocks up with ready-to-impress notes of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, and menthol, followed by hints of cinnamon stick, rose oil, and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate is chock full of lively black berry and minty flavors, framed by grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and lifted.

    Intense, stately, with ripe and spicy dark brambled fruit flavours, blackberry and cassis, balanced by grippy tannins, crushed rocks, slate and cigar, which add texture and moderation. The serious face of Duhart does well in the vintage, keeping an upright tannic backbone. New cellar at Duhart since 2020. Harvest August 31 to September 28, 3.8ph. Olivier Bonnau technical director. Duhart Milon vineyard is looking at lowering density of planting to guard against future hot vintages of this type.
