What bottle of wine did you open today? (Part 2)

2019 Durfort-Vivens
The CT tasting notes were so effusive I had to try, infanticide or not. Decanted for two hours and drank about 18 degrees out of Zalto Bordeaux. Hard to believe this isn’t 15 years old, as it is integrated and luscious, with an aftertaste which lingers and lingers. Deep dark fruits but throughout, not in the middle as I expected. The tannins must be too fine grained for my palate, as I struggled to find them. On this showing i would happily drink now, but am intrigued to see what turns up after a decade, so will wait…and wait. Truly delicious
