2001 vintage. Margaux made at Durfort-Vivens selected by The Wine Society. A very good effort with still a solid colour, nice fruit and flowers, a gentle medium-bodied Margaux from an underrated vintage. — 3 years ago
2018 vintage. 85% Cab, 10% Merlot, 3% Cab Franc and 2% PV. One of the highest % of Cabernet Sauvignon in this wine that I can remember. 14% ABV. Tapenade, smoke and ripe, dark plum nose. Medium body. Softens up somewhat on the finish. Wine (and not just this vintage) occasionally drinks like 2nd growth Durfort-Vivens in Margaux with Mount Eden Vineyards having slightly more body. I need to compare the last three vintages of each all together. Spooky. 4.20.23. — 2 years ago
Hints of sawed oak with violets and blackberries following closely, very smooth and a lush velvety finish — 10 years ago

2019 vintage. I had very little experience with Durfort-Vivens before, but today's tasting was extraordinary. The grand vin 2019 is stunning, concentrated and elegant at the same time, with an incredible purity of fruit, and haute couture tannins, culminating in a very long finish. Well worth the money. — 4 days ago
