Like all aged wine, storage is everything. This bottle emerged from immaculate storage in some diplomat’s cellar in DC (guessing). The cork on this was immaculate.
Cassis, blackberry, leather, cedar, lead pencil shavings on the nose. Palate is classic claret: lingering black fruit, red currant, menthol, loam. A beautiful, refined expression of cabernet with nearly seamless tannins.
If you get a good bottle, you’re in for a treat.

Still in great condition, needed some air first.. Came after a 1 hour with a lovely tobacco, leader and red berry note.

The wine looks garnet colored. It smells like blackberry, blueberry, forest floor and toast.

A vertical tasting of Château Duhart-Milon 1975-2012 (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL): Slightly lactic nose, fresh and floral style, caramel, gently grippy tannins, light on its feet but with good concentration, cigar box, lively, supple and elegant, precise expression, light tannins, good resonance and length. Quite Burgundian.
