CHATEAU DUHART MILON, 2009
PAUILLAC
"A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, this wine exhibits an inky/blue/purple color along with a generous and sweet nose of crème de cassis, forest floor, licorice, pencil lead, cedar, and subtle barrel notes. Viscous and full-bodied, it represents the most concentrated and expansive example of this cuvée I have tasted in over three decades. It will be ready to drink in 5 to 7 years and should age gracefully for three decades or more. Wine enthusiasts looking for excellent value should consider Duhart Milon, which might well be the smartest purchase of this grand and historic vintage." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
