Durfort Vivens has been in the Lurton family since 1961. Classified as 2nd growth the wines have arguably underachieved until only very recently. The 52ha vineyard is planted 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon makes it the highest in Margaux, giving it a more blackcurrant style than other wines from the appellation. The estate is managed by Gonzague and Claire Lurton who began experimenting with biodynamics from 2009. The state is now fully demeter certified. A full renovation of the cellars will definitely improve precision in the wines.

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

This amazing powerhouse from Ribera del Duero. Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2012 - Bodegas Alejandro Fernández. Decanting is advised 👌🍷 delicious cherry, vanilla, leather and cederbox with cigars. Milk chocolat, forrest floor, laurel. Great lenght and depth Amazing wine!

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
