Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion, 2019
Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

A compelling red blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Franc offers a taste characterized by rich, dark fruits, velvety tannins, and a long, fragrant finish. It features notes of blackcurrant, redcurrant, and plum, complemented by hints of sauteed herbs and tobacco leaf. The wine is full-bodied with a good balance of fruit and freshness, and the tannins are very firm, ripe, and velvety. 

This is a well-structured and balanced wine with tannins are well-integrated that contributes to a smooth and velvety texture. The 2019 vintage is considered a great Bordeaux vintage, alongside 2018 and 2020.

Château Sénéjac

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

定番酒、初の2019年もの。フェリシティ税込2211円。タンニンが立つためか大好物の2018年よりパワフルに感ずる。曖昧な記憶を辿れば、であるが2016や2017より素晴らしい。しかしほんの少し甘味が優位な2018の方が好みなんである。

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

1st Growth Bordeaux comparison. Young, bold and bit more herbaceous than the rest and would benefit the most from good years lying down. Great potential. — 22 days ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

+2 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment) A beautiful deep ruby red color. On the nose: Expressive nose captivates with dark red fruit, espresso, chocolate, floral, menthol, sweet tobacco. Taste: rich, round, intense wine with dark cherry/blackberry, minerals, cedar, tobacco, and a peppery-pencil lead-dried herb long dry finish. YUM! A brilliant wine just entering its drinking window with time to go. — 17 days ago

Château Lanessan

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1979

Medium light garnet , terracotta with terracotta rim . Quite herbal and cedary, light sous bois , earthy . On the palate this has quite fresh acidity , slightly herbal character, light sous bois and tobacco notes, grafite , quite light tannins . Alright length and balance . Drink now , probably would have been better some years (decade ?) ago . However quite commendable for a difficult vintage from a petit chateau . Tasted at Hedonism Wines , London . — a month ago

@Andrew Cullimore A great wine shop is Hedonism. I bought a few bottles from them a few years ago at that shop in Mayfair.

Château Haut-Marbuzet

St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, licorice and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red and blue fruits with light wood, tobacco leaf, vegetables, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, graphite and dark coffee.

This 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Estephe still feels young and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good by itself and will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 15 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$65.
