Château Larrivaux 2019 – Haut-Médoc

The nose is elegant and offers a good definition, a good finesse of the grain and a fine power. It reveals notes of wild cassis, juicy/fleshy strawberry, small notes of raspberry associated with touches of cuben pepper, violet, sense of the place/terroir as well as fine hints of liquorice, sweet spices and an imperceptible hint of fresh tobacco/almond. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers freshness, minerality and a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, juicy blackberry, small notes of violet associated with small touches of raspberry, small juicy/ripe red berries as well as hints of lilac, zan, toasted and sweet spices. Good length. Tannins are well-built. A very discreet hint of chew and sapidity in the finish.
