Larrivet Haut Brion 2009

HED98127 75cl 13.5%
Larrivet Haut Brion 2009 presents an opaque garnet color, hinting at the wine`s concentrated nature. The nose offers an intricate bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, alongside earthy notes of graphite and subtle tobacco. There’s a backbone of toasted oak that complements the fruit, while hints of roasted coffee beans add complexity. This Bordeaux blend, primarily comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, reflects the classic style of the Pessac-Léognan region.

On the palate, the wine reveals a medium to full body with a firm structure and polished tannins. The acidity is balanced, supporting the lingering finish that features layers of dark berry flavors intertwined with minerality. With a growing aromatic presence and ample aging potential, Larrivet Haut Brion 2009 serves as an example of how the vintage`s climatic conditions influenced ripeness and concentration, showcasing the unique terroir of its appellation.

The 2009 Larrivet Haut-Brion feels a little pinched on the nose, quite backward with black cherry and light black olive scents, becoming more marine like with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, slightly grainy in texture with brown spices sprinkled over the structured finish that feels a little bitter and rustic. Not sure how this will age. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. - Neil Martin
