2014 Duhart Milon

The overriding characteristic of this wine is its Lafite-like cedar.
It is structured, restrained, classy, 2002-like.
Medium bodied, ruby colored, lead pencil on the nose, a classic Pauillac.
If you like the big fleshy merlots from the right bank, well, they aren't mutually exclusive, I like the '14 Tour St. Christophe too. But this is more my style.
Very traditional. Let's check the alcohol... 13%. Of course. Just like they used to make 'em.
You've been forewarned: this is a JimHow kind of wine... But that is often not a style appreciated by a lot of others.
To me it is a classically styled Pauillac, dare I say it... Lafite-like.
The only question will be the price.
Gerry M says he can get it for like $58 at the Mass. Costco.
It is a few bucks more on sale in NH.
Love the 2002/2014 classicism of this wine, its Lafiteness.
