Chateau Durfort Vivens 2016

TASTING NOTES Starts with a very inviting nose, very Margaux, with seductive violets and crème de cassis. Follows on the palate with candied violets, ripe tart red fruits, crab apples, sandalwood, incense. It's notable for its superb balance; it has finesse and freshness in spades. Ample acid, fine grained, chalky tannins, and lighter bodied than many 2016s DESCRIPTION 2016 blend 94% Cabernet sauvignon, 6% Merlot Aging 18 months in fine-grained French oak barrels with 60% new barrels
