Château Duhart Milon Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Jonathan Wall

Wow. 2005 is amazing now... right out of the bottle. Wow. Can still taste the memory.

Good but was overshadowed by everything else we had that evening.

This, along with an '85 d'Estournel, was the star in a brilliant lineup. Powerful, rich, but with an earthy elegant balance. Perfectly built

A great representation of #leftbank #bordeaux from a ripe vintage. The core was deep ruby fading out to crimson with nice concentration. The nose was powerful and very complex showing ripe black and red fruit, and secondary notes. The palate was well structured and still very tight not showing nearly as much as the nose. The finish was long but dominated by smoke. Lots of time to go. #duhartmilon #pauillac #ctbucklinwine

Dark fruit, graphite and friendly tannins, yum

Lacked the concentration and excitement that I that a 2005 might have. #bordeaux #pauillac #duhartmilon #2005

Heady: leather, roasted meat, ox blood, crushed stones. Very long in the palate. Really an exceptional year for Duhart.

So well structured that you almost forget to note the flavors. If you can cognate how precisely Lafitte’s little sister is constructed, you will be rewarded with intense saddle leather, plum liqueur, wet stones and a light herbaceous finish. Merci à la famille Rothschild.

45+ minute decant. Classic French nose that is filled with cherry, cedar, rust, and earth. Same characteristics on the palate, but does lack a little depth or boldness. Definitely drink with food. You also might want to drink sooner rather than later, although the finish was definitely long. Loved it!!
