Fruity and polished aromatics with vanilla and pipe tobacco leaping from the glass. The palate is at first quite fleshy and fruity with cassis and plum skin. Weight and structure come to life with air. Infanticide, but a delicious Pauillac that is already very approachable.

Masterclass with in San Francisco with Saskia De Rothschild, Chairwoman DBR Lafite. Duhart-Milton is another property the Rothschild’s own. The nose shows, bright, ripe, candied fruits with pleasant, bright florals. Blackberries, dark cherries, blue fruits, strawberries & pomegranate. Tobacco notes, leather, dry brush, limestone, crushed dry rocks, beautiful red, dark fresh florals with violets. The body is full and shows the strength of the 15 vintage but, this is one should not be enjoyed at least for 10-15 years. Tannins are fine and firm. Ripe and slightly candied fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, blue fruits, strawberries & pomegranate. Tobacco notes, leather, dry brush, limestone, crushed dry rocks, dry river stones, black dry earth, cedar, graphite, beautiful red, dark fresh florals with violets. The acidity is really good. The structure, tension, length and balance are good now but, show greater promise down the road. The finish is very good, well balanced, elegant and persists minutes. All wines arrived weeks ago directly from the Chateau. Photos of; the Crown Room on the 23rd floor of the Fairmont where the Masterclass was held, tasting set up, our double decanters and pourers and another view of the City and Bay with Alcatraz.

17/20 (92/100) В аромате отчетлив тон кожи, есть чёрная смородина и шоколад. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивные, шероховатые танины. Насыщенное во вкусе. Неплохо, но аромат кожи в столь молодом вине настораживает, тем более, что танины ещё совсем не готовы. #annualclarettasting

Brilliant for a young wine! Pauillac grand crus are the best!

Very mild wine. Touches of oak. Nicely approachable and not to heavy. Recommendable. Will order it again.
