2015 Château Durfort-Vivens

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

91 Points

Monday, August 28, 2023 - Reading my note from two years ago, I have to believe that my palate is just "off." All I am getting tonight on PnP is vanilla in the nose and excessive oak in the mouth, to the exclusions of anything else. Since it is most likely me and not the wine, not rated.

Next day, after sitting open in the stoppered bottle for 18 hours, the vanilla has largely resolved and so has much of the oak--though this is still notably oaky. At this point, if you give it plenty of time to air, I'd say 5-12-16-8: 91/100.
