Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)
The 2020 Moulin de Duhart has a bright, vivid nose. A mixture of blackberry, blueberry fruit and crushed violet comes through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a dab of dark chocolate on the entry. Supple and fresh with a lovely harmonious rondeur on the finish. Good potential.$235.00 -
(3x150cl) 2023Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)
The 2023 Moulin de Duhart is very aromatic. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, dried herbs, pine, sage and tobacco weave through a core of dark red/purplish fruit. This mid-weight, savory Pauillac is charming right out of the gate. It's everything a second wine should be.$223.00
