Red

Dominated by the Cabernets this year (the blend is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot), this is a lovely fleshy attractive wine with classic aromas of blackcurrant, wild flowers and a touch of liquorice. On the palate, the wine is round and smooth with good blackcurrant sweetness; some spice and lively, prickly tannins which are structured but well integrated. This year’s Durfort is a lovely, happy wine, very much at ease with itself and showing no trauma in spite of the difficult climate. It is elegantly balanced with an appetizing finish which brings the wine’s different characteristics together.
