Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2009

It is no longer an insider's secret that the investments made by the Rothschild family (of Lafite) in Duhart Milon are paying big dividends. A shrewd Pauillac lover's delight, it possesses exceptional quality, yet the price remains fair. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, only 50% made it into the final blend, displays some of Lafite's classic notes of lead pencil shavings, cedar, and black currants along with more earthy, roasted herb, and spice box characteristics. Rich, full-bodied, dense, and already approachable, it should evolve easily for two decades. Good value.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2008

Good full medium red. Aromas of plum, smoked meat, iron and rose. Supple and broad, with a restrained sweetness to the flavors of plum, smoke and meat. Seems to gain in sweetness toward the back, finishing with good breadth and length. 88 points

Offers dried currant on the nose, with herbal undertones. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Best after 2013. 23,665 cases made. -JS

Our visit

My tasting note: Maroon core with a pink rim. Ripe aromas of raspberry and cherry are surrounded by a flinty minerality. In the mouth the wine is thin up front building to a strong mid-palate with nice dark fruit flavors. Decent structure through the finish, but the alcohol is a little too present. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot.
