Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Sep 21
The 2000 Duhart-Milon is noticeably deep in color. It has a crisp bouquet of brambly black fruit, truffle, freshly rolled tobacco and just a touch of mint. The aromatics here are impressive and exude Pauillac class. The palate is medium-bodied with suppler tannins than the aromatics augur, and austere but quite deep in the mouth, suggesting burnt toast and tobacco. Black pepper surfaces toward the finish, which lingers nicely with just a slight bitterness. Very fine.
