The 2021 Larrivet Haut-Brion delivers rich aromas of dark fruits, cassis, coniferous forest floor, licorice and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate framed by lively acids and powdery tannins. This charming, demonstrative middleweight is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc this year.

The 2021 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is terrific, with deep purple and blue fruits as well as some violet notes, medium body, a round, supple texture, and a good finish.
