Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan 2012

Dark ruby color, dense and deep. Yet closed nose opening slowly with aromas of black fruit (cassis) with notes of vanilla, sweet spices and smoke. Rich and full attack. The balance is, at this stage, dominated by the tannins of the wine, still a little young.

The finish is long and marked by burnt notes.

 

Blend: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc
