Château Larrivaux 2021 – Haut-Médoc

On the nose there are notes of liquorice, pulpy blackberry, crushed raspberry and more lightly liquorice combined with hints of crushed cherry as well as fine points of nutmeg, sweet spices, a discreet hint of serenity and madagascar pepper. The palate is fruity and reveals minerality, juiciness, some freshness, and finesse. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, fleshy/juicy blackcurrant and more lightly violet combined with hints of lily, crushed raspberry as well as discreet hints of zan, toast, cardamom and a subtle hint of pepper (in the background). Good length. The tannins are discreetly tight. Sapidity on the finish.
