Decanter 95/100 - This first scents are floral in character, accompanied by a touch of blackcurrant and raspberry, but aeration reveals graphite and slightly smoky notes. The palate is perfectly balanced and expresses clearly the potential of this estate. The 2018 de Millery is a racy thoroughbred that will go the distance without effort, a telltale sign being its chalk-infused yet airborne finish. Should age well for 20 to 25 years.

Vinous /Antonio Galloni 96/100 - The 2018 Millery is magnificent. Rich, layered and sumptuous, Millery dazzles from the very first taste. The warm vintage has given this typically reserved Saint-Emilion an extra kick of richness that works so well here. Inky red fruit, blood orange, mint, spice, cedar and new leather are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop in the glass. Silky, perfectly ripe tannins wrap it all together. This is such a gorgeous Saint-Emilion.Anticipated maturity: 2026-2043
