1999 Duhart-Milon - Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

1999 Duhart Milon : light red - rubis colour. Funky nose dominated by an smell of wet old barrel (?). In mouth, 1999 Duhart Milon isn't very appealing, showing dry tannins and greenish tannins, little fruit and a rather thin body. 82/100

2001 Duhart-Milon - Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

2007 April - Purple in coloration. Doesn't give much away in the nose, wood juice and some small cherry fruit - and that’s about it. Angular on the palate. The texture seems diluted and the flavours are overwhelmed by a bizarre bitterness. The fruit of 2001 Duhart Milon is finally perceptible on the midpalate but the finish falls quickly flat. The less appealing wine of the flight.

2002 Duhart-Milon - Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

2002 Duhart Milon :  is dark purple in color. Charming nose of raspberries, blackberries currant and black chocolate. Briary and some lead pencil. The initial palate of 2002 Duhart Milon is pleasant, round and fruity with some savoriness. A bit hollow on the mid-palate. Diffuse and shortish finish. Some bitterness at the end. Not quite what I expected. 87/100

2003 Duhart-Milon - Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

2003 Duhart Milon :  has torrefied wood, vanilla and red fruits on the nose. Beautiful dense and round mouth balanced with silky tannins. Good persistence on nice ripe fruit. Maybe a little lack of freshness, but finally isn't this the trademark of this canicular year? A "sexy" Duhart-Milon that is drinking today with so much pleasure. 89/100
