critic reviews
The 2023 Moulin de Duhart is forward and attractive, bursting with aromas of dark berries and pencil shavings, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, layered palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins. This characterful second wine will show well on release.
This has a ton of Cabernet black cherry bud character, and signature Pauillac, generous, sappy, salted cracker, cassis and coca bean, firm tannic architecture and yet accessible. New winery since 2020/2021. Eric Kohler technical director.
The 2023 Moulin de Duhart has quite a refined bouquet with pure blackberry and raspberry fruit, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate has slightly grainy tannins on the entry. Quite sharp with a dash of cracked black pepper toward the finish. Give this just a year in bottle.
The 2023 Moulin de Duhart is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of ripe black plums and fresh blackberries jump from the glass, leading to hints of anise, tar, and tapenade. The medium-bodied palate is soft, plush, and juicy, with lovely black-fruited expression and a peppery kick to the finish. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot - a bit more Cabernet than usual, as some of the young Merlots didn't make it into the blend.
