Note di degustazione
The 2025 Larrivet Haut-Brion was picked 3 to 22 September and sees part of the crop aged in amphora. My sample showed a bit of dustiness on the nose that impeded the fruit profile. The palate is rounded and soft on the entry, but the oak seems to be singing from a different hymn sheet to the fruit. This is difficult to read at the moment and I will not assess it based on the sample received.

Sporting a deep purple hue, the 2025 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion has classic aromatics of cassis, spring flowers, spicy wood, and graphite. Based on 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 22% Cabernet Franc, with the Cabernets raised in 50% new and once-used barrels and 5% of the Merlot aged in terracotta amphorae, I love its purity and vibrancy. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, layered mouthfeel, fine, polished tannins, and a great finish. I'd buy it.
The 2025 Larrivet Haut-Brion offers a compelling mix of power and finesse. Cabernet aromatics confer notable inner perfume to play off a core of dark red-fleshed fruit. There's a lot to look forward to.
