The 2005 Duhart-Milon is a bit of a beast. Displays quite a dense, unforgiving pencil lead and tobacco-scented nose, and the fruit seems to take a back seat at the moment. The palate is well-balanced but undeniably brawny and rough-hewn, the kind of Pauillac you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley at midnight. This is a bit hard going at the moment. This was an ex-château bottle served at Maison François in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, January 2023) — a year ago

Let it breath for up to 2 hours. It matures and mellows out and becomes quite balanced and good. — 2 months ago

This was still fermenting a little in the bottle. Actually pushed the cork out of a couple of bottles on the shelf.m Meant I couldn’t sell them so staff had to drink them. Delicious! — 6 months ago

Absolutely phenomenal. Notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and honeysuckle without a single note of traditional oaky butteriness. — a month ago
