Critics Scores
Jeb Dunnuck
The red from this estate, which utilizes the consulting advice of Stéphane Derenoncourt, the 2017 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a promising wine from the Pessac-Léognan region and offers a beautiful floral bouquet of black cherries, plums, leafy underbrush, and violets. Medium-bodied, soft, with some elevated acidity and fine tannin, it’s a charming effort that should drink well for a decade or more.
Decanter
A more complicated vintage, one where you can see why Larrivet Haut-Brion has received so much praise in recent years because this is a well-handled wine. Tons of rich strawberries on the nose, a lighter vintage overall than the 2016 but it has grace and charm. Well handed, some expert winemaking on display, you can expect plenty of enjoyment from this over the next few years - but if you want a 2017, my money is on the white.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Larrivet Haut-Brion leaps with kirsch, warm blueberries and black plums plus wafts of earth, herbs and cedar and a touch of tar. Medium-bodied, the palate is fine, fresh and delicately expressive, finishing long and savory.
Wine Enthusiast
Ripe, juicy with plenty of black currant flavors, this wine has solid tannins as well. It has a good depth of flavor, its tannins well integrated into the juicy fruits. Drink from 2023.
Wine Spectator
Ripe and focused, featuring a beam of cassis, plum and blackberry paste flavors, infused with black tea notes and framed by licorice root and apple wood accents. The grippy finish lets in a sweet tobacco hint. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2035.
James Suckling
This has quite a rich core of ripe dark-plum aromas and flavors. The dense, supple tannins are nicely cut. Drink or hold.
