1995 Durfort Vivens

Note: The 1994 has not been tasted. I rarely see this wine before bottling. The 1995 reveals a dark ruby color with purple tints. It exhibits moderate ripeness, as well as black-cherry scents intermingled with earth, olives, and oak. Moderately tannic, with medium body, this should be a mid-weight, unobtrusive style of claret that should drink well for 10-12 years. All of the wines in this segment were tasted between March 19 and March 28 in Bordeaux. Most of the important wines from both the 1994 and 1995 vintages were tasted three separate times during my ten-day stay in Bordeaux.
