"Deep and slightly spicy black cherries and blackberries with leafy nuances. The palate has a very pure lively core of cassis. Full body and deep flavors of blue plums. Try from 2021."
"The 2015 Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion is a real stunner. Vibrant nuanced and delineated the 2015 possesses remarkable detail to balance the richness of the vintage. Sumptuous at the outset yet backed up by considerable structure the 2015 is simply superb today. Creamy silky tannins round out the highly expressive finish. This is the first vintage made by Stéphane Derenoncourt and his team."
"Medium garnet-purple in color the 2015 Larrivet Haut-Brion offers up fragrant notes of crushed raspberries Bing cherries and red plums with hints of baking spices black tea and potpourri plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium-bodied and vibrantly fruited in the mouth with impressive energy and tension it has a soft silky frame and finishes on a lingering perfumed note."
Enticing with vibrant raspberry and red currant coulis fruit liberally laced with singed alder and dried anise notes. Flashes of rooibos tea and incense weave through as well. A light tarry thread on the finish adds range. Drink now through 2027. 12500 cases made. ?JM
