Description
Château Durfort Vivens, 2eme Grand Cru Classé Margaux, Bordeaux, France, 2020
Grapes: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon & 12% Merlot, 55ha vineyard on gravel soil, certified organic & biodynamic production, aged 18 months in French oak barrels (35%-45% new wood)
Critics' Tasting Notes:
"More structured and tannic than 2019 or 2018 but still with an explosion of fruit. Floral and dark-fruit notes. Ripe but fresh with crunchy fruit on the palate and fine-grained tannins. Mouth-watering, saline finish. Potential to age."
17.5/20 points, James Lawther MW, JANCISROBINSON.COM, April 2021 [Cask Sample]
"The 2020 Durfort Vivens has turned out beautifully, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with hints of licorice, baking chocolate and mint. Medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, it's layered and concentrated, with lively acids and broad structural shoulders, its generous endowment of powdery tannin asserting itself on the youthfully firm finish. More tightly wound than the extroverted, charming 2019, the 2020 will demand patience, but it's a very strong performance for this estate."
95+/100 points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE, April 2023
