Château Duhart-Milon 2023

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,robertparker.com)
