Critic reviews
"A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon (picked late, between September 25 and October 3) and 20% Merlot, the 2023 Duhart-Milon has turned out beautifully, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, cherries and dark berries mingled with hints of mint, cedar and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with an ample core of cool but ripe fruit, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish."
William Kelley, April 2024, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Duhart-Milon was impressive from barrel and now in bottle, it has retained generosity on the nose with black plum, mint, cedar and touches of blueberry and blossom in the glass while retaining wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, wonderful poise, far removed from the austere Duharts of old. (Eric Kohler attributes this to the new cellar with improved vin de presse. There is also concurrent replanting of some of the older parcels.) Excellent."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Duhart-Milon is quite the powerhouse. A blast of dark-toned fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather, incense, licorice and dried herbs all stain the palate. This is an especially dense Duhart that really explodes on the back end. This is a big, big wine."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Good depth, with a fresh herbal touch to the black currants and a hint of graphite, cocoa powder and spices. Layered and integrated, with fine, chiseled tannins, a fleshy core of fruit and a long, ample finish. A blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. Drinkable now but better from 2027."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"This is a vintage the rewards owners who know how to lean in to classical Bordeaux, and this is juicy, perfectly Pauillac, graphite, crayon, ink, liquorice, cassis, bilberry, totally delicious and really one of the greatest vintages of Duhart that I have tasted. Captures the character of the year and it works. 65% first wine, 45hl/h yield, 15% of press wine. Harvest September 7 to October 3. A buy. One point upscore."
