Tasted blind at the Southward 2012 tasting, the 2012 Durfort-Vivens felt rather disjointed, muddled on the nose. There is a decent level of fruit, though I was seeking more terroir expression, more Margaux-like floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a distinctly green opening, and thereafter it feels rather hollow with an attenuated finish. My final words before its identity was revealed were "Durfort-Vivens." Despite my disparaging remarks, I will still return to re-taste this after five or six years, as their wines can improve and shed that initial greenness. We will see. Tasted January 2016.
