2018 Château Durfort-Vivens

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

94 Points

Thursday, April 7, 2022 - Certified organic and biodynamic vintage whose 2018 vintage was decimated by mildew with yields down to 9hl / ha. 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot vinified in amphora and elevated in 70% new oak and 30% terracotta. 6000 bottles.

TN: Dark crimson in colour with a truly seductive nose showing mint, rose petal, cassis and raspberry. Lovely mouthfeel from very fine silky tannins and mid palate shows pristine delicious sappy fruit which conceals the considerable power and structure lurking underneath. Melts away on the finish. A lovely wine already although I will try my next bottle in 3 to 5 years as it remains very primary. Score 94++
