CHATEAU DUHART MILON, 2003
PAUILLAC
"A spectacular wine that could be purchased for a song upon its release. This blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot was harvested at a yield of 33 hectoliters per hectare. Displaying all its nobility, richness, and majesty in 2014, it offers abundant notes of cedarwood, crème de cassis, licorice, and a hint of pencil shavings. Full-bodied, rich, dense, and fully mature, it is capable of lasting another 7 to 10 years. This beauty is a true hidden gem of its vintage." - Robert Parker
