Very attractive aromas of blueberry, lavender and stone. Full body, chewy and tannic. It shows a serious depth of fruit for the vintage. Give it two or three years to soften. - jamessuckling.com, February 2016

Red-ruby. Aromas of raspberry, minerals and violet. Clean and silky but penetrating, with slightly austere flavors of dark berries and minerals. Juicy, firmly built and nicely delineated, in Duhart's not particularly sweet style. Finishes with dusty, firm tannins, good persistence and a flinty nuance.

The 2013 Duhart-Milon-Rothschild, a blend of 20% Merlot and 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, has a simple bouquet for Duhart, though one that is not unpleasurable with muted scents of red plum and boysenberry fruit. Perhaps what the challenging growing season did was denude this Pauillac of terroir expression since I found little of that trademark pencil lead aroma. The palate is medium-bodied and quite rounded in the mouth, slightly lower in acidity than I was expecting, but cohesive with black fruit tinged with cedar and leather. It is a forward Duhart-Milon with moderate depth but decent length. It might be the earliest drinking and most approachable Duhart that I have encountered, but it still has drinking pleasure to offer. The Wine Advocate #227, October 2016

Tasted blind. Rather odd nose – a touch meaty (bretty?). OK but rather dry and slight on the palate. (JH)
