Expert Reviews
Very attractive, earthy aromas with an array of herbal and leafy notes, as well as a dark-berry thread and earthy complexity. The palate has great depth and drive with a bright array of juicy red and darker berries. Plush, ripe tannins. Try from 2022.
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Larrivet Haut-Brion reveals a beguiling, earthy/truffle-laced nose with notions of crushed rocks, tilled soil, fungi and mossy bark over a core of warm cassis and blackberry compote. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegantly crafted with soft, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a quiet intensity of savory nuances.
As you might expect, the main white wine for the 2016 vintage has held up much better, still very much giving grip and juice. You get the white flesh and minerality of a good Pessac-Léognan. It's a little hesitant, you are not quite swept up in its grip as you are with the 2017, but this still has complexity and texture, and is enjoyable.
