Chateau Duhart-Milon Pauillac 2015

$14799

A more classical, structured counterpoint to the opulent 2009: the 2015 Duhart-Milon is still primary, with plenty of cellaring upside. Owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the estate is a Pauillac Fourth Growth located on the Milon hillside west of the Carruades plateau. 2015 was a warm, even vintage on the Left Bank, and Duhart's Cabernet-heavy blend shows precision and freshness rather than weight. Drink now with decanting or hold another five to ten years.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The 2015 Duhart-Milon has an outgoing nose with dark chocolate- and espresso-infused red fruit. The oak perhaps obscures some of the freshness and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. This is not concentrated but I feel that it is slightly over-extracted in the winery, consequently the finish is missing some complexity. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

90 points

"Composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot and aged for 14 months in barrels, 50% new, the 2015 Duhart-Milon has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and an open, expressive nose of warm red currants, black raspberries and spice cake with nuances of cedar chest, bay leaves and tobacco plus a waft of rose hips. Medium-bodied, vibrant and refreshing in the mouth, it has a good amount of chewy tannins and layers of lively red and black fruits, finishing on an earthy note." —Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Decanter

90 points

"This has an abundance of tobacco notes, with crushed black fruits and dark chocolate. We are clearly striding through Pauillac here, and this is a very good wine, but not the best Duhart of recent years - for me you have to head to 2016 for that. Things taper off quicker than expected through the mid-palate, although there is a black cherry sweetness that is very attractive. 50% new oak."

Wine Spectator

91 points

"This has a mix of silky and charcoal-edged texture carrying gently steeped black currant, plum and cherry fruit flavors along, while lovely perfumed black tea and violet notes infuse the finish. Shows sneaky length, with a lingering iron detail. Just a touch shy on depth overall. Best from 2020 through 2031."

Wine Enthusiast

93 points

"Firm and tannic, this wine’s rich structure is balanced by a concentrated blackberry flavor and bright acidity. Drink from 2026." —Roger Voss
