Classic Pauillac character comes through in 2012 Chateau Duhart-Milon, with ripe cassis and redcurrant woven around cedar, cigar-box nuances and a touch of dried flowers. The palate feels measured and refined rather than showy, its firm tannins and fresh acidity giving a straight, old-school frame to the gently fleshy dark-fruit core. This vintage has an understated confidence that should please anyone who likes their claret precise, savoury and quietly ageworthy.

Château Duhart-Milon is the Cabernet Sauvignon–led grand vin of this Pauillac Fourth Growth estate, owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite and lying immediately west of Château Lafite Rothschild on the gravelly Milon hillside. Sourced from a single, largely contiguous block of vines on sandy-gravel and clay soils, it typically marries classic Pauillac structure and graphite-cedar notes with dark cassis fruit, offering a relatively restrained, earthy, and age-worthy expression often seen as the best-value wine in the Lafite stable.
