The 2011 Duhart Milon is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot and offers a typically foursquare bouquet with blackberry, wild hedgerow and pencil lead. It does not have the aromatic penetration displayed by the 2010 last year. The palate is medium-bodied and demands time to unwind, displaying broody dark berries and a touch of sous-bois and black olive. There is a Graves-like tincture towards the finish. This is a sedate, medium-term Duhart. Tasted April 2012. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 30 April 2012 |

Tart acids give this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine a crunchy, fresh, lively feel on the palate. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, this medium-bodied 2011 reveals loads of finesse and purity, but is slightly superficial compared to recent vintages such as 2009 and 2010. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Score: 89 - 91 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2027 27 April 2012 |

More richness than expected, beautifully extracted, elegant and polished, it shows Lafite stable Pauillac elegance. Score: 17 - 18 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2017-2030 16 April 2012 |

75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot. Inky with black core. Sweeter smelling than the Carruades. Light oak spice. Then cedary and so silky on the palate. Just glides though there's plenty of tannin there. Creamy long finish. (JH) Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2018-2030 16 April 2012 |

Shows high-toned cherry, tobacco leaf, grilled herb and lightly mulled spice notes. Very formed already, with a lingering dusty finish as the herb note peeks out more and more with air. Tasted non-blind. Score: 89 - 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 11 April 2012 |

Part of the Chateau Lafite stable the 2011 vintage is rich, ripe and silky. Lots of acitdiy coming through and a firm, grippy and long finish. Score: 91 - 93 Albany Vintners, - 01 January 1900 |
