"The 2021 Duhart-Milon was the second year in the new cellar that Eric Kohler said allowed them to make a stricter selection, and it includes more vin de presse (14%). The 2021 has a typical Duhart nose, with cedar and pencil box aromas percolating through the black fruit. The new oak is neatly integrated. The palate is very well-balanced with finely chiseled tannins. A little more peppery in style than I remember out of barrel, this gently fans out on the graphite-tinged finish. Perhaps it will be more approachable than recent vintages, but it has the substance to age." (91 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Nov. 2023)
"The 2021 Duhart-Milon has turned out beautifully, offering up incipiently complex aromas of dark berries and cassis mingled with notions of orange zest, burning embers, pencil lead and iris. Medium to full-bodied, suave and polished, with a layered core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, sapid finish, it will offer a broad drinking window." (92 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2024)
"The 2021 Duhart-Milon is a very pleasant surprise. There's very little Merlot this year, and that seems to result in a serious, at times somber, Duhart-Milon. Black cherry, gravel, spice, licorice and graphite build beautifully with time in the glass. The 2021 is gorgeous." (92 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec. 2023)
"The blackberries, blueberries and currants are very impressive, with flowers and an undertone of lead pencil. Cedar and sandalwood. Medium body, with very fine tannins that are focused and refined. Lovely length. Elegant and almost Burgundian. 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot. Very drinkable now but will age wonderfully." (94 pts. James Suckling, April 2024)
