Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion charges out of the gate with bold notes of blackcurrant cordial, redcurrant preserves, and baked plum, plus hint of sauteed herbs and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, it is jam-packed with opulent fruit framed by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.-Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent
Moving to the red, the 2019 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a rich, broad, mouth-filling, spicy, complex and full-bodied style that has loads to love. Giving up lots of mulled red and black fruits as well as tobacco leaf, loamy soil, and chocolaty nuances, I love its balance, it has ripe tannins, and it will drink nicely for 25 to 20 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
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. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Black fruit, cherry stones, tar, walnut husk and undergrowth on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, finely knit tannins. Layered and polished with a firm, mineral finish. Try after 2024. - James Suckling
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.- Jane Anson, Wine Decanter
Initial impression is sweet oak spice as well as rich black fruit. Pretty oaky on the palate too, a bit charry. Compact tannins yield to ripe black fruit. A little bit heavy-handed but lots of flavour.-Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson
