"The 2019 Larrivaux has a fragrant nose with brambly black fruit, subtle wilted rose scents with just a touch of freshly rolled tobacco. The palate is quite tart on the entry thanks to the fine acidity and a distinct saline note that imparts a great deal of freshness on the finish. It might just miss a little length, otherwise this is a noble Larrivaux that will give a decade of drinking pleasure, possibly more"

"Delivering aromas of earthy plums, berries, cedar wood and loamy soil, the 2019 Larrivaux is medium-bodied, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a delicately herbal finish. It's a solid Haut-Médoc." -William Kelley

"Mature ruby colour. Fully evolved but still lively with a good core of fruit and nicely balanced but acidity with the tannins fully resolved. Good current drinking and GV for those who appreciate maturity." -Jancis Robinson

"Richly expressive nose, full of ripe blackcurrant and bramble aromas. This has a lovely liquorice core alongside juicy strawberries andraspberries. I like the texture here too, chewy but soft tannins with a hint of dryness coming from the acidity at the moment. Feels nice and well balanced and I like the fresh minty kick on the finish also. Good stu."
