(Vintage 2010)

Powerful and intense, with deep dark chocolate, black cherry and blackcurrant...black everything. It has more depth of flavour than the 2011 vintage, although both are exceptional wines with lots to offer. Very tannic, this is austere but doesn't show any bitterness. 65% of production was used in the grand vin, matured in 33% new oak.

The 2010 Larrivet Haut-Brion has a very deep colour. It offers blackberry and black olives on the nose, hints of cassis and violet, a very engaging set of aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. This is a gutsy, concentrated, powerful Margaux that has great purity and a velvety finish. Plush and sensual, this punches well above my expectations despite not reaching the heights of its peers. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

Deep garnet. Minty, slightly herbaceous but intense mature fruit aromas – leather and dried fruits but not raisined. Lithe, supple and well balanced on the palate. Still a way to go for the tannins but it has the fruit to keep up.
