2011 Chateau Duhart Milon, Pauillac 4th Growth (Stained Labels)
A Fourth Growth in the 1855 classification, Chateau Duhart Milon is part of the Lafite stable, undergoing a notable transformation in recent years under their ownership. The estate's recent shift towards a more meticulous approach has resulted in wines with balance and complexity, showcasing Pauillac signature cassis, & cedar notes. Duhart-Milon offers a window into the quality of Rothschild craftsmanship, without the premium of its more famous sibling.
"Tart acids give this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine a crunchy, fresh, lively feel on the palate. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this medium-bodied 2011 reveals loads of finesse and purity... Drink 2012-2027." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, April 2012
