The 2023 Duhart-Milon was impressive from barrel and now in bottle, it has retained generosity on the nose with black plum, mint, cedar and touches of blueberry and blossom in the glass while retaining wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, wonderful poise, far removed from the austere Duharts of old. (Eric Kohler attributes this to the new cellar with improved vin de presse. There is also concurrent replanting of some of the older parcels.) Excellent. [Neal Martin, 18/02/2026]

The 2023 Duhart-Milon is quite the powerhouse. A blast of dark-toned fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather, incense, licorice and dried herbs all stain the palate. This is an especially dense Duhart that really explodes on the back end. This is a big, big wine. [Antonio Galloni, 31/03/2026]

Wine Advocate 92-94

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon (picked late, between September 25 and October 3) and 20% Merlot, the 2023 Duhart-Milon has turned out beautifully, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, cherries and dark berries mingled with hints of mint, cedar and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it’s deep and concentrated, with an ample core of cool but ripe fruit, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish. [William Kelley, 26/04/2024]

80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot.Elegant, all the components are in the right place. This will benefit from another few years in bottle. Plenty of flesh, has less precision and mineral/lead-pencil character than expected. A highly enjoyable wine but not quite as Pauillac as expected at this moment. (AWH) [05/11/2025]
