Château Durfort-Vivens Le Hameau Margaux 2022

“The 2022 Le Hameau emerges from parcels in Cantenac. Dark and pliant, with superb depth, Le Hameau is superb. Inky dark fruit, lavender, licorice, mocha and savory herbs soar from the glass. The 2022 is so alive and dynamic. I admire its inner perfume and layered, beguiling character. There's tremendous density and richness here. The 2022 was raised for 16 months in a combination of 85% amphora and 15% new oak.”

“Refined and fresh with currants, paprika, cocoa powder and fine spices. Medium- to full-bodied, this has dusty tannins that slowly unfurl before a long, tight and powdery finish. Drink from 2027.”
