Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion, 2019
Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux
A compelling red blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Franc offers a taste characterized by rich, dark fruits, velvety tannins, and a long, fragrant finish. It features notes of blackcurrant, redcurrant, and plum, complemented by hints of sauteed herbs and tobacco leaf. The wine is full-bodied with a good balance of fruit and freshness, and the tannins are very firm, ripe, and velvety.
This is a well-structured and balanced wine with tannins are well-integrated that contributes to a smooth and velvety texture. The 2019 vintage is considered a great Bordeaux vintage, alongside 2018 and 2020.

+2 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment) A beautiful deep ruby red color. On the nose: Expressive nose captivates with dark red fruit, espresso, chocolate, floral, menthol, sweet tobacco. Taste: rich, round, intense wine with dark cherry/blackberry, minerals, cedar, tobacco, and a peppery-pencil lead-dried herb long dry finish. YUM! A brilliant wine just entering its drinking window with time to go. — a month ago
