Château Duhart-Milon 2018 Pauillac (75cl)

A Pauillac red from 2018, still young. Pauillac is the Cabernet Sauvignon heartland of the left bank, so the wines usually come out structured and built for time rather than soft and immediate. It can be drunk now with a long decant and something rich such as short ribs, or put away for a few years. Young Pauillac typically shows blackcurrant, graphite and cedar with firm, grippy tannins that need air or a few years. Decant for at least an hour and serve around 17C.
