Tasting Notes

85
Vinous Neal Martin - 27 Sep 22
The 2002 Durfort-Vivens has a light earthy nose with undergrowth, gravel and vestiges of dark fruit, although it needs more vigour and brightness. There is a touch of greenness that cannot be avoided. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins on the entry, a little astringency with a rather hard tarry finish. I probably prefer the Ferrière in this vintage. Tasted at the château.
