James Suckling: 93 Points

"The smoke almond dark-berry and plum character is impressive to this young Duhart. Full body round and silky tannins and beautiful fruit and spice undertones. Plenty of coffee and cedar flavors at the end. A pretty Duhart. Needs four or five years bottle age."

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider: 93 Points

It is the elegance and purity in the sweet red berries that stand out here. Forward soft refined and complex the wine is fresh and the textures exude grace. Give it 4-5 years in the cellar.

This has a mix of silky and charcoal-edged texture carrying gently steeped black currant plum and cherry fruit flavors along while lovely perfumed black tea and violet notes infuse the finish. Shows sneaky length with a lingering iron detail. Just a touch shy on depth overall. Best from 2020 through 2031. 22000 cases made. ?JM

The 2015 Duhart-Milon comes across as much tighter and more reticent than it did from barrel but some or perhaps all of that might be attributable the post-bottling shock. Time in the glass brings out the wine's plentiful sensual charms with hints of crushed flowers tobacco mint leather and smoke that add nuance throughout. The 2015 opens up nicely with air which leads me to believe that all the 2015 needs is time in bottle. (Drink between 2020-2030) - Antonio Galloni The 2015 Duhart-Milon has an intense bouquet of blackberry undergrowth mint and pencil shaving scents that soar from the glass demonstrating much more conviction than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and well-judged acidity and quite natural and classic in style though it misses a little depth toward the finish which attenuates prematurely. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. - Neal Martin

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

"Composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot and aged for 14 months in barrels, 50% new, the 2015 Duhart-Milon has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and an open, expressive nose of warm red currants, black raspberries and spice cake with nuances of cedar chest, bay leaves and tobacco plus a waft of rose hips. Medium-bodied, vibrant and refreshing in the mouth, it has a good amount of chewy tannins and layers of lively red and black fruits, finishing on an earthy note."

Jeb Dunnuck: 90 Points

"The 2015 Duhart Milon is a surprisingly charming elegant and medium-bodied Pauillac that?s 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that was brought up in 40% new French oak. With perfumed notes of spice-box cedarwood toast and sweet black currant fruit it has sweet tannin and is already accessible yet will cruise for two decades."
