Château Duhart-Milon is a Fourth Growth located in the heart of Pauillac and managed by the Lafite Rothschild team. The 1996 vintage is one of the strongest Left Bank years of the decade, producing Cabernet Sauvignon with structure, freshness, and long aging potential.
The 1996 opens with blackcurrant, graphite, cedar, tobacco, and dried herbs, showing classic Pauillac character. With nearly three decades of age, it also displays tertiary notes of leather, cigar box, and earth. The palate is firm and linear, driven by fresh acidity and well-resolved tannins. It remains elegant and precise, with a long, savory finish.
This is a mature Pauillac from an excellent Cabernet year and pairs well with grilled lamb, ribeye, roast beef, or mushroom dishes. It reflects the classical, restrained style of Duhart-Milon.
