Description
Black-red, really fine natural concentration, slightly smoky, tobacco-leaf nose, even a touch of iron, flavours already complex, masses of energy and grip alongside the deeply fragrant fruit. Drink 2010-25.
Proud and hard-working owner Gonzague Lurton appreciated fully this vintage, the perfect conditions meaning the winemaker's involvement was minimal and the wine's classic terroir, in the heart of the appellation, and sheer class come to the fore. The 2005 is very fresh and shows all the Margaux hallmarks of elegance and finesse with beautifully pure fruit and utterly natural with judicious use of oak. This is almost certainly the best Ch. Durfort Vivens in recent years, and in 2005 it certainly lives up to its deuxième Cru status. Exceptional value for the quality of the wine.
