Château Duhart-Milon Pauillac 2005
This fourth growth estate, which is owned by the Lafite Rothschild family, is planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Vines averaging 35+ years give the wine concentration and complexity, and it is considered to possess a style similar to Lafite wines. Duhart-Milon is also a great value, for collecting and enjoying...
Wine Advocate
The finest Duhart-Milon ever made? This structured, tannic, dense ruby/purple-tinged Pauillac offers up hints of cassis, licorice, chocolate, and earth. Medium to full-bodied with good purity, strong tannins, and undeniable elegance, it reveals a character not dissimilar from its renowned sibling, Lafite-Rothschild. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot, it is unquestionably outstanding, but to my taste, slightly less opulent than the estate’s ethereal 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.
Score: 94.

Wine Spectator
Dark in color, almost black, with beautiful aromas of spices, blackberry and milk chocolate. Full-bodied and very silky, yet tannic, with a wonderful texture. This is long and caressing. Gorgeous. Best after 2015. 20,000 cases made.
Score: 93.
