Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes One of the better wines (and also reasonably priced) to emerge from this property over recent years, this dense ruby/purple-colored wine shows a complex nose of earth, underbrush, creosote, creme de cassis, and dried herbs. Sporting a new yellow/orange label that matches the dramatic paint job on the… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes Scents of dried Provencal herbs, spicy new oak, red currants, and a hint of cassis jump from the glass of this dark ruby/plum-colored 1999. The wine is soft and seductive, with cherry and licorice characteristics discernable in the flavors. It can be drunk now and over the next… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes A dense purple color is accompanied by a tannic, smoky, concentrated, earthy wine with abundant blackberry and cassis fruit, underbrush, minerals, and a steely character, and a powerful, tannic finish.

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes This dark plum-colored, sexy, soft, medium-bodied, low acid Lafon Rochet reveals chewy black fruits intermixed with new wood and minerals. Exhibiting good density and ripeness, it is a very good effort in this accessible, drinker-friendly vintage. Anticipated maturity: now-2008.(Wine Advocate #128Apr 2000) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes One of the sleepers of the 1996 vintage, Lafon-Rochet has turned out an atypically powerful, rich, and concentrated wine bursting with black currant fruit. The opaque purple color gives way to a medium to full-bodied, tannic, backward wine with terrific purity, a sweet, concentrated mid-palate, and a long,… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes This wine may merit an outstanding score after several more years in the bottle. Although it has closed down since bottling, it is an impressively endowed, rich, sweet cassis smelling and tasting Lafon-Rochet. The wine’s impressively saturated deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by vanillin, earth, and spicy scents,… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 94 Tasting Notes A magnificent sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 Duhart Milon is the shrewd consumer??s wine to purchase by the case as prices do not yet reflect its qualitative resurgence. Composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that came in at 13.09% alcohol, it is a surprisingly intense… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes Showing better than it did from cask, this soft, generous, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2007 exhibits sweet black currant fruit intermixed with cedar, roasted herbs, and subtle smoke. Round, hedonistic, and already complex, this blend of 73.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26.5% Merlot should drink well for 12-15 years.(Wine Advocate #188… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 92 Tasting Notes It is no longer an insider??s secret that the investments made by the Rothschild family (of Lafite) in Duhart Milon are paying big dividends. A shrewd Pauillac lover??s delight, it possesses exceptional quality, yet the price remains fair. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, only… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 94 Tasting Notes The finest Duhart-Milon ever made? This structured, tannic, dense ruby/purple-tinged Pauillac offers up hints of cassis, licorice, chocolate, and earth. Medium to full-bodied with good purity, strong tannins, and undeniable elegance, it reveals a character not dissimilar from its renowned sibling, Lafite-Rothschild. A blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon… Read More »
