CHATEAU DUHART-MILON ROTHSCHILD 4eme Cru Classe Pauillac 2022 OWC x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

DECANTER 94 points
Drinking Window: 2029 - 2046
Ripe fruit on the nose, cherries, blackcurrants and plums, fresh, open and inviting. Sleek and smooth, this is intense but juicy giving tannic strength, just shy of chewy but appealingly chalky and fleshy giving a mouthfilling texture while the stony, saline, spiced edge to the tannins and cool blueberry and mint give the freshness. The tannins stand out here, present and at the fore, but well textured, crushed velvet but juicy with high acidity and a sharpness that counters the clear power underneath. Ageing will incorporate 40% of new oak plus up to 15% of amphora based on current trials. Harvest 31 August to 28 September. - Georgina Hindle 04/23

JAMES SUCKLING 95-96 points
Very Pauillac in its blackcurrant, dark chocolate and walnut husk character. Full-bodied yet compacted. Wet earth, mushroom, earth, black tobacco. Fine and intense tannins. Fresh and complex. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% merlot.

JANCIS ROBINSON 17 points
Drink 2030 - 2042
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot. Cask sample.
Marked Cabernet nose – blackcurrant with a touch of mint. Big tannic base but with an opulence to the tannins. Long and persistent. Plenty of Pauillac power. (JL)

THE WINE ADVOCATE (91 - 93) points
The 2022 Duhart-Milon unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cedar box, loamy soil, herbs and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety palate with a broad attack that segues into a lively, nicely concentrated core of fruit, concluding with a youthfully firm finish. - William Kelley 04/23.
