James Suckling 95-96Very Pauillac in its blackcurrant, dark chocolate and walnut husk character. Full-bodied yet compacted. Wet earth, mushroom, earth, black tobacco. Fine and intense tannins. Fresh and complex. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% merlot.
Glengarry Review
78% Cabernet, 22% Merlot. The florals and intense cassis meet you, this is very appealing. Inky and bold on the palate, very firm ripe tannins that give this wine a wonderful structure. Impressive concentration. Impeccable balance here, the finesse on the finish, wow. Tasting all the Lafite-Rothschild stable of wines at the Château, we walked away so impressed, all are just incredible.

Neal Martin" The 2022 Duhart-Milon underwent a short 15- to 18-day maceration and is raised in 50% new oak and the rest one-year-old barrels. It has a very graphite/mint-scented nose that is Pauillac through and through. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine tannins. This is beautifully sculpted with a vibrant pencil lead-tinged finish reminiscent of Grand Puy Lacoste. The 2022 is a fabulous Duhart-Milon that should give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure. It's a Pauillac a bit like the late Steven Spurrier insofar that it's a Pauillac always conservatively dressed in a pin-striped suit, but that's the essence of Duhart."
