Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion rouge 2024

James Suckling: "A medium-bodied, juicy and velvety red with red-berry and cedar notes. Medium body and creamy tannins. Round and fleshy finish."

Jane Anson: "Attractive floral character, violet, iris, the lean side of Cabernet Sauvignon, good nuance, leaning into the vintage, slim and savoury but still with impact. A little overly tight in its chalky tannins, but with real charm. Last vintage of Bruno Le Moine before retirement, replaced by Charlotte Mignon. Harvest 19 September to 5 October. Gervoson family owners."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Comes bounding out with bold notes of black cherries and black raspberries, leading to hints of tar, sautéed herbs, and tilled soil. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers a refreshing line and plush tannins to match the elegant fruit, finishing with a spicy lift."

Vinum: "Vom Ausbau geprägte Nase, dunkle Frucht, Feuerstein, rauchige Noten; cremiger Gaumen, satte, reife Frucht, feinkörniges Tannin, sauber, ausgewogen, solide Länge. Schlank, aber harmonisch."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, tiefer Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine dunkle Beerenfrucht, zarte Holzwürze, Brombeeren und Cassis, einladendes Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, etwas Karamell und Kirschen, feiner Säurebogen, mineralisch, anhaftend, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Tobacco, cedar, vanilla, strawberry, and red currants open the perfume. The wine is bright, fresh, juicy, and elegant, with a focus on its core of red plums, strawberry, and black raspberries, with a juicy, crispness in the finish. The wine is made from 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 13% Merlot, 13% ABV. Drink from 2028-2040."
