Very enjoyable wine. I had this post dinner; I imagine it would be much more enjoyable with a red meat protein (cooked medium rare) or maybe a red pasta. Nice balanced fruit in nose and taste; after taste consistent with a Bordeaux — 5 years ago
Took a bit of time to really come to life. Gorgeous nose. Tasting fresh but with some depth. Bargain for a Bordeaux. — 8 years ago
Flavors of dark fruit, pencil/graphite, cedar and dust. Med/med+ body, fine tannins. — 3 months ago
Nothing but secondary and tertiary notes on the nose. Hoisin sauce, shoe leather, luxardo cherry reduction. On the palate, light and fresh. Lots going on. Still some tannins on the back end. A treat. — 2 years ago

I am slightly biased towards merlot dominant Bordeaux blends but damn. I love the flavour profile. This is drinking very well, from a good vintage. — 6 years ago
I had this side by side with the Tayac from Margaux and I gotta be honest the Dufort Vivens had a lot more going on big currants spice my second favorite left back on the flight good balance — 8 years ago

The wine poured a beautiful dark Brick/blood red. We do candidate and let it breathe for about 45 minutes first. It has wonderful flavors of earth, graphite, dried fruit. This is another example I think of buying a lower cost wine from a great vintage and putting it up. It certainly could’ve Aged longer. But it went perfectly with our prime stakes dinner at Hanna with our friends the Swanson‘s and the Bailey‘s. #bordeaux #leftbankbordeaux #margauxwine — 8 days ago
