Approaching thirty years old, Duhart-Milon 1996 is mature Pauillac at its most rewarding. 1996 is one of the great classical Left Bank vintages – a cool, structured year that suited Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly – and this Lafite-owned 4th Growth has had the time to fully integrate. Cedar, tobacco, dried black fruit, and the unmistakable Pauillac signature of graphite and cigar box. Resolved tannins and a long, mature finish. Drink it now and savor what time does to great Bordeaux.
