Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2018 Larrivet Haut-Brion has an outgoing floral bouquet that is one of the most seductive that I have encountered from this estate in recent years. The oak is nicely assimilated and the terroir shines through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and generous, not overly complex but there is a lovely "rondeur" on the finish. Drink over the next 12 to 15 years.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Larrivet Haut-Brion offers up notes of baked plums, stewed cherries and warm cassis with hints of wilted roses, bouquet garni and raisin cake. Medium-bodied with a good amount of spicy baked berries flavors, the palate has a clever structure of soft tannins and lovely freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.
James Suckling
Deepness and reality to this young Pessac with hot-stone and blueberry character. Hints of minerals, too. Medium body. Bright finish.
Wine Enthusiast
The wine shows a fine black currant flavor that's supported by firm tannins and fresh acidity. It has an attractive touch of spice, along with plenty of juicy acidity.
Jeb Dunnuck
While a touch reductive on this occasion, the 2018 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is nevertheless loaded with potential, offering a big nose of black cherry and blackberry fruits as well as complex smoked earth and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and balanced, it shines more for its elegance and purity than outright power. With nicely integrated acidity and fine tannins, it’s going to be drinkable with just a few years of bottle age and evolve nicely.
Decanter
lear rich layers of fruit on the nose, the most gourmet in the line-up with tons of layers of chocolate and liquorice. Similar to the 2016 but with more flesh on the bones, if not as balanced. Definite similarities with 2009 also, in that is has soft and appealing tannins but with punch and power behind them. Drinking Window 2024 - 2038
