From Lafite Rothschild, Duhart Milon lives up to the billing!
  • 96 Points
  • The Classic 2010 Vintage
  • "a dead ringer for Lafite in a great vintage"
The quality of Chateau Duhart-Milon's wines have improved exponentially since the Rothschild family purchased the property in 1962. Major construction projects were undertaken in the vineyard: draining, uprooting and replanting, the purchase of adjacent plots, and reintegrating the vineyard by trading plots. New cellar and vat rooms were installed and from 1973 to 2001 the vineyard increased from 100 acres to 170 acres. Today, the new vines are all mature, and the renovation of the cellar is the finishing touch to a remarkable 40-year effort, restoring Chateau Duhart-Milon to its Médoc Classified Growth ranking. This wine from the Classic 2010 vintage is a gem.


The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker Scored this 96 points saying "Dense purple, with classic notes of cedar and lead pencil shavings as well as gobs of back currants and licorice, the wine has a full-bodied mouthfeel with fabulous precision and density. It also possesses a long, silky finish with moderately high tannins, but they are ripe and well-integrated. The wood is clearly pushed to the background in this dense, full-bodied Pauillac, which should drink beautifully for 30+ years. If you can’t afford Lafite-Rothschild (few can)or even their second wine, Carruades de Lafite, you still have Duhart Milon, which has become a profound wine over the last 5-7 years due to the extensive amount of attention and investment the Rothschilds have pumped into this estate. This blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot is fabulous, a dead ringer for Lafite in a great vintage. (It is probably better than many of the Lafites of the 1960s and 1970s, and even some of the vintages in the 1980s.)"


Jeb Dunnuck scored this 94 points saying "Like a lot of 2010s, the 2010 Duhart-Milon-Rothschild is tight and backward, yet has serious potential. Sporting a deep ruby/purple color and classic notes of currants, lead pencil shavings, cedarwood and saddle leather, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a tight, firm focused texture and beautiful concentration. Its tannins are present, yet ripe and integrated, and it has the purity and freshness that’s the hallmark of this great, great vintage. Give bottles another 2-3 years and it should keep for two to three decades."

Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored it 93 points saying "Juicy black currant fruit mingles with bright acidity and dark-chocolate tannins. This often overlooked château, with the same production team as Lafite-Rothschild, has an intense and concentrated 2010, balanced superbly between firmness and fruitiness."
