Recensioner av Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Rouge 2019

94/100 Vert de Vin
“The nose is aromatic, powerful, racy and offers power. It reveals notes of wild cassis, cornflower, small notes of pencil lead associated with touches of dense/crushed blackberry, cocoa, nutmeg as well as a fine hint of cardamom, iris and cuben pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, harmony, a beautiful minerality, freshness, a good definition, juiciness, gourmandize as well as a fine tension, fat and suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, juicy blackberry, small notes of violet associated with fine touches of cornflower, pencil lead as well as discreet hints of caramelization and chocolate. Good length. Tannins are elegant and well-buillt.”

“Opaque purple-black colored, the 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion charges out of the gate with wonderfully fragrant scents of black raspberries, Morello cherries and wild blueberries with suggestions of blackcurrant pastilles, candied violets, chocolate mint and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with red and black fruit layers, framed by firm, exquisitely ripe, velvety tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and fragrant. Just stunning!”

“..the 2019 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion offers a medium to full-bodied, elegant, lively style that carries classy dark fruits, earthy minerality, a kiss of flowers and violets, nicely integrated oak, and a great finish. As with the 2018, it shines for its elegance and purity yet still brings plenty of fruit and richness. It's a beautiful wine.”

92-94/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"The 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion is laced with a whole range of dark red cherry, lavender, gravel, rose petal, blood orange, mint and sweet spice nuances. Deep and persistent, with fabulous balance, the 2019 has so much to recommend it. One of the signatures of Larrivet Haut-Brion is a relatively high percentage of Cabernet Franc, and the Franc character really comes through. It will be fascinating to see how things evolve as the property transitions to sustainable farming."

93/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Smoked cherries, flowers, licorice and plums show up on the nose easily. Medium-bodied, elegant and refined, with loads of freshness, silky textures and dark red, earthy fruits in the finish are found here. This should drink well with just 5 years or so in the cellar and provide pleasure for at least 2 decades after that."

” A full-bodied red with chewy tannins that nicely frame a full body with lots of fruit, tobacco and wet-earth character. Flavorful finish.”
