Not only the huge 95-point score from the Wine Enthusiast, this has outstanding ratings and reviews from…
Vinous:
The 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion is terrific. Dark, fleshy and resonant in the glass. Wild cherry, tobacco, incense, leather, smoke and game all take shape in this potent wine. Franc top notes lend quite a bit of aromatic presence, but then again, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc make up most of the blend. Once again, Larrivet Haut-Brion is a classy, under the radar gem. Tasted two times.
And the Wine Advocate (at 94+):
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!
And Decanter:
That is excellent; classic Pessac signature in that it is sleek, precise and balanced. Not as much exuberance perhaps as the 2018 but juicy, rich and enticing. You would be very happy to own this wine, it's a clear crowd pleaser. A yield of 35hl/ha.
