2014 Durfort-Vivens (Margaux)

Easily the best Durfort-Vivens I`ve ever tasted, living up to its name completely. Vivens translates to life as in energy and this has it in spades. Plus it`s complex and perfumed with violets, red and blue fruit on nose and palate. It is a fresh, linear and complete wine. (CW 02/04/15)

The Château Durfort-Vivens 2014...it occasionally seems a little "green" on the nose...but not this year: it is still classical and in some eyes, maybe lean, but there is ample freshness and clarity with lively blackberry and blueberry fruit, touches of cedar emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin, atypically plush in style with a very harmonious, sensual finish. I would never guess the identity of the château based on this barrel sample, but it undeniably well crafted with good potential after bottling. 87-89 points
