Blatantly point-chased Levenberg for this one (and the 2020), and damn, he's right - this is a heck of a wine, though quite different from the '20. Whereas that one was much more dark fruited, restrained, and showing its structure, this feels surprisingly accessible with a much more red fruited character, but also comes across quite accessible and easy to drink with the fruit very generous/ripe, and the tannin surprisingly silky and fine-grained.

Decanted about an hour before dinner and drank over two hours. An excellent young Bordeaux, but I wouldn’t commit to 95+ yet. The nose is already alluring, with red fruit dominating. The palate is not quite as open, but still quite fine with a lingering, plush finish. Might well be 95+ in time, and I might simply lack the imagination to score it so today. Glad I bought a bunch, but this will likely be better to my taste in 3-5+ years.
Revisited. Half-case of 0,75 still in the cellar, tried the last 0,375 to see, how it developes. Could copy the TN from April. Fruit bomb, but with great potential. Today I can also find a big amount of acid that balances the typical 2019 fruit and the residual sugar so there is no sign of heat nor of alcohol. Perfect tannins. Glad to have a case in the cellar...

This is good stuff. After reading all these reviews I had to buy a bottle and try it. Is it great right now? Yes! Is it still super young? Also Yes! Will I be buying more? Absolutely! The Wine showed really well at the beginning, flowers, rocks, black fruit, chocolate, cedar. The tannins and acidity are perfectly hidden but still very present. The finish is long and spicy. Everything perfectly balanced👌. After 2 hours I felt that the wood hijacked the wine and the tannins where showing bit more bite. This is great now but I would rather wait 5 years if you don’t have many bottles. 95 now with tons of potential. Also at this price point this is crazy good qpr.

Extremely approachable for its youth, this is a gorgeous wine in the making. Pure black fruit, luscious tannins, wonderful balance, and constantly evolving in the glass (caramel core) as we drank it into the night. I'm glad I have a bottle left because this is going to be very interesting and exciting to try again years down the line. Had with Brie cheese, salami, and cashews w-Heekyung and Mrs. Nam before her departure for JeJu.

The CT tasting notes were so effusive I had to try, infanticide or not. Decanted for two hours and drank about 18 degrees out of Zalto Bordeaux. Hard to believe this isn't 15 years ole, as it is integrated and luscious, with an aftertaste which lingers and lingers. Deep dark fruits but throughout, not in the middle as I expected. The tannins must be too fine grained for my palate, as I struggled to find them. On this showing i would happily drink now, but am intrigues to see what turns up after a decade, so will wait....and wait. Truly delicious
I read a great Keith Levenberg CT / TN on this wine in March and grabbed 3 a few days later. This is spectacular young Margaux very accessible right now in its youth and showing unexpected complexity. It well fruited but not remotely over the top. Super silky, energetic and weightlessly tasty. Bravo! Thanks to Keith for highlighting this producer. alc 13.5%

13.5% ABV. Coravin pour, decanted in glass for 30 min. This D-V is drop-dead gorgeous and is absolute textbook Margaux in all the best ways for a bargain price. For reference, my wife who isn’t the biggest Bordeaux fan gave me an “oooooo” at first sip and proceeded to consume her entire glass like a marathon runner deprived of water after a race.
Deep ruby appearance. Lacy aromas of perfectly ripe dark fruit, Asian 5 spice, eucalyptus, violets, lilacs, cedar, mocha. The tension builds sip after sip. On the palate this is luscious with an elegant backbone. Great acidity with tannins that are definitely present but rounder than expected given its youth. Finish is persistent.
If you have more than one bottle, you can get away with opening now with a decant. However, despite how giving this is after decanting, I’m sensing that it’s starting to close up and may be beginning to enter its dumb phase for several years. This is a sleeping dragon and I’m certain will be a showstopper with about a decade or more of cellar time. At a 96 now with potential upside to 98+.

Very floral, a little minerality, a little dusty, some pencil shaving. On the palate, acidity is slightly higher than typical, but very balance. Tannin is fine. Medium plus finish. Really good. Although not as good as d’issan and brane cantenac 2019.

From 0,375. Fruit bomb, big potential! Oak and tannins already perfectly integrated, even after PnP. Develops a little bit after 3-4 hours but not that much. Drink now and you will get a basket of black and blue fruits with perfect tannins or hold and time will tell if it fullfills its promises... 94-96

Best yet in a string of marvelous Durforts in the renaissance that's been going on over there since around 2014 or so. This is the essence of Margaux. I'm not even sure I've had a (Chateau) Margaux or Palmer that came as close to this as the Platonic ideal of the appellation. You will practically have a synaesthetic experience from the pure redness of the fruit and other elements on display here - think strawberries, raspberries, and bright red roses. They leave a vivid impression, but rendered with a light hand - Bordeaux in watercolors. Bright, maybe even bold, but transparent. It hits its zone after maybe an hour or two of air, when it shows firm contours on the entry but then dissolves into silk, and then dissolves further into the realm of the ethereal. And that's ultimately where it seems it wants to be this year. Even the next day, when the fruit turns darker and blacker, it holds on to its finesse. Some of the prior recent vintages have shown earth and grit, and done so in the best way, but this one is pure fruit and perfume. The others might turn out longer-lived, but they'll never be this seductive.
An astounding wine. Even by the reputation and standards of Margaux, it is so airy and elegant. Compared to both the 2015 and 2018 D-V this is as dark in colour but more translucent, a common theme with the 2019 vintage methinks. On the nose this is shy, but pure and immediately complex with predominately red fruits, very ripe and sweet, a touch of something green and stalky, cherry pit, spices and with time a beautiful note of charcoal, all in all not dissimilar to the 2018, but more red-fruited, and certainly not as oaky and open as the 2015. In the mouth the wine is fresh and just about medium-bodied, however, it manages to be really quite flavourful and persistent, finishing on a melange of ripe red fruits, sweet almond paste and some light minerality. All in all it tastes delicious already, but there is one caveat, the tannin is not only super gentle (good), it also seems to be sparse in absolute terms, something I am not used to in quality Medoc, but which seems to be another common trait of this vintage. Therefore - though the wine feels wonderfully balanced now - I remain a bit sceptical about its longevity and prefer the equally distinctive, but more substantial 2018. Edit: After having retasted the wine at the chateau in June 2023, when it showed more structure, I have lifted the score to 94, still with upside.

Jeff Leve described this wine perfectly on 7/8/22. Amazing for such a young Bordeaux. I can only imagine what it might be like in 10-20 years, but I won't last that long, so will probably consume the remaining 3 bottles within 5 years.

Château Durfort-Vivens Margaux GCC 13.5%alc (90% CS / 10% M), P&P bei zunächst 15°
Farbe: Dunkles, am Rand leicht durchscheinendes Purpurgranat Nase: Feinduftig, nach dem Öffnen zunächst réglisse, rote Kirschen, dann auch schwarze Kirschen, schließlich Brombeeren Gaumen: Auch hier (i.U. zum kürzlich beschriebenen Ferrière) extrem fruchtig, zuerst auch hier vorwiegend rote und schwarze Kirschen, dann Brombeeren und Maulbeeren, mit der Zeit gegen Rotfruchtigkeit tendierend: Himbeeren, Ribisl, Cranberry-Saft, zwischenzeitlich (schwarzer) Holunderliqueur. Gegen den Abgang hin auch leicht gedörrte Birne. Holz ist nur ganz leise spürbar, wie ein Hauch frisch geschlagenes Holz, den ein Wind aus dem nahen Wald auf die Sommerwiese hinaus trägt, der aber die dominierende Frucht höchstens leise streichelt. Die Tannine sind präsent, aber nicht erschlagend, von guter Qualität, versprechen zusammen mit der sehr straffen Säure ein hervorragendes Alterungspotenzial. DV präsentiert sich im Moment deutlich positiver als Ferrière, allerdings ist eine gewisse Familienverwandtschaft unverkennbar. Beides sind nicht Powerweine, sondern präzise und (jung) säurebetonte Weine, Ferrière auf der Suche, vor lauter Blumen fast ohne Frucht, DV dafür gerade jetzt richtig tänzelnd auf der Klaviatur der Frucht. Ich sehe den Wein, wenn auch ganz anders in der Anmutung, auf derselben Höhe wie den vor 1 1/2 Jahren getesteten Giscours 2019 bei 94-95 Punkten, mit Potenzial bis gegen 96+. Second day: clearly 95 points for this extremely fruity (mulberries! rasberries, blackberries, elder) wine.

Flowers, cherries, and tobacco show easily on the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, clean, and pure, with silky tannins and a vibrancy that give the perfect amount of lift for the sweet, soft, red fruits. Give this a few years in the cellar and it will be just great to enjoy for 2 or more decades. The wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The wine is aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels with 30% of the wine aged in clay amphora. Drink from 2025-2050.
