Tasting notes
Lots of sweet berries and licorice on the nose. Full body, chewy and rich tannins with an asphalt and dark-berry character. A little loose in the mid-palate, but very pretty already. Excellent for the second wine of Duhart. Try after 2022.

The 2016 Moulin de Duhart is a blend of 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers light brambly black fruit on the nose tinged with undergrowth aromas, nicely defined if not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, moderate depth with a touch of coarseness on the entry, but adorned with attractive tobacco and graphite notes on the finish. Probably an early-drinking Deuxième Vin, this should drink nicely almost from bottling.
A very fine and elegant second wine from Duhart with blackcurrant and berry character. Medium body and silky tannins. A beauty. Mar 17, www.jamessuckling.com
