James Suckling: 96 Points
Aromas of blackberries, black olives, lead pencil and blueberries. Full-bodied with very velvety tannins. It’s big and rich for Margaux, but then it tightens at the finish. It will come around with bottle age. One for the cellar. 88% cabernet sauvignon and 12% merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes.
Wine Enthusiast: 95-97 Points
The wine is rich and spicy with intense black fruits that shine with the concentration that comes from small berries. Its acidity has the freshness of the year, but this balances with the wine's structure and density. Obviously, the wine is destined for long-term aging. Organic and biodynamic.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2020 Durfort Vivens has turned out beautifully, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with hints of licorice, baking chocolate and mint. Medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy, it's layered and concentrated, with lively acids and broad structural shoulders, its generous endowment of powdery tannin asserting itself on the youthfully firm finish. More tightly wound than the extroverted, charming 2019, the 2020 will demand patience, but it's a very strong performance for this estate. Best After 2030
