...Domaine Barons de Rothschild Ch Lafite, Pauillac Ch Duhart-Milon, Pauillac Ch L’Evangile, Pomerol Ch Rieussec, Sauternes Dom d’Aussières, Languedoc Viña Los Vascos, Chile Bodegas Caro, Argentina As yet...
...I’d back the Mouton stablemates d’Armailhac, Petit Mouton and Clerc Milon before the brawny Duhart Milon from the Lafite Rothschilds....
...Ch d’Armailhac from the Mouton stable seemed a little less glamorous than when tasted blind, as did its counterpart and neighbour from the Lafite Rothschilds Ch Duhart Milon, whose 2005 has always shone....
...Ch d’Yquem is a great wine, but the Doisys offer great value....
...So if you decide to write anything, I’d rather it wasn’t about me.”...
...Some, including Cheval Blanc, Leoville-las-Cases and Cos d’Estournel released at levels much closer to their 2007s, which did not appear to offer such good value....
...The elegant, cedary Duhart-Milon is a fine teammate for the unusually ripe, roasted and exotic Lafite, too....
