…A stately, elongated, perfectly poised Pauillac…. full of rich fruit pared down by a slate texture, the sense of minerality scraping along the palate as you approach the blackcurrant leaf and tobacco finish. It’s excellent quality, and clearly a vintage that suits the personality of Duhart – juicy but restrained. Matured in 50% new oak. Drinking Window 2024 – 2040 – J.A.
