The 2006 Château Duhart-Milon displayed a comparatively muted nose that does not really escape from the glass, despite encouragement (somewhat typical of Duhart in its first ten years). The palate is gritty and hard with plenty of graphite infusing the broody black fruit at the moment, though the finish feels rather pinched. Give this another 2-3 years and plenty of decanting. Tasted April 2016.
Tasted blind. Brawny and a bit wild. Racy and rich biscuit. Thick and solid. (JR)
Dark but quite evolved. Light and toasty nose. Relatively delicate – almost pretty. Simple but competent. (JR)
