Chateau Durfort Vivens 2014

DECANTER: "Fine, floral Margaux Cabernet nose. Excellent balance of fruit and tannins; a lovely, elegantly understated claret. Drinking Window 2019 - 2028."

JAMES SUCKLING: "There’s a cassis bush nose, which introduces a medium-bodied red with plenty of tannin but no hint of hardness. A very nice, hand-crafted wine that’s already appealing. From Biodynamically grown grapes."

WEINWISSER: "Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Im ersten Ansatz etwas dropsig und rote Pflaumen zeigend, dann Zederntouch und danach Tabak und eine erdige Würze. Im Gaumen mittelgewichtig, lässt die Muskeln etwas spielen, gibt sich – wie immer – von der Vinifikation her traditionell. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This is a wine that is obviously made for the long term. At this stage is dry and firm, serious and solid. The aftertaste reveals its enormous potential with the generous black fruits and acidity. The estate, in the heart of the Margaux vineyards, is impressive. Drink from 2025."
