Merchant's description

Duhart-Milon 2003 is a full-bodied Bordeaux wine from the Pauillac appellation. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the wine is marked by aromas of blackcurrant, graphite and subtle herbal notes. Full-bodied (2003 was an exceptionally hot vintage in Bordeaux) with structured tannins, it exhibits a solid, yet restrained profile. As a product of Château Duhart-Milon, part of the Rothschild family since 1962, it benefits from meticulous vineyard practices. This vintage showcases the estate`s ability to produce wines that mature well, offering an evolving complexity over the next few years.
