Limited stock. Beautiful dark red colour with violet tints. The nose is very expressive, with intense aromas of cassis & blackberries, which are also noticeable in the mid-palate. Ample & round, the body is well structured with polished tannins & delicate layers of oak. Smoke & slight spicy notes rise after further airing of the wine. Stylish & balanced, the 2008 Vivens is a very refined & multi-nuanced Margaux.
