Chateau Durfort Vivens 2010

Wildly perfumed with lifted sweet and cool dark fruits. Juicy and alive. Quite a direct approach, but with some salty, crushed stone tannins giving weight. Classic and calm, but the fruit feels clean: mouthwatering and energetic. Finish has a metallic minerality, with pencil shavings and liquorice coming through. Fresh and easy drinking. Drinking window: 2024-2038. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com,June 10, 2024)
