Community Tasting Note

Juliansi Likes this wine:

Friday, October 7, 2022 - Impressive and surprisingly ready to drink with some hours of decanting time in a large flask, especially considering this is a 2010!

Plums and blackberry on the nose and palate, this is a medium body Pessac-Leognan Wine with a good balance and nicely aged. Medium-long finish with mushroom hints.

In 1874, it called itself Chateau Haut Brion Larrivet, much to its illustrious neighbours anger! Lawsuit after lawsuit entailed and eventually in 1949, it was allowed to have "Haut Brion" at the end of its title!

Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion is owned by the Gervoson family as of 1987, whose fortune is derived from sales Bonne Maman jams (red and white checked jar lids!).

One of 3 favourite bottles in the 7 we enjoyed at @Hann Sze's home.

Thanks @Mika Tyson Teau for so deftly preparing this wine, how long was the decant? Not often are we able to enjoy 2010 vintage bottles

Thanks M for sharing this... I think he only paid like USD 50-60 some years ago before the wine inflationary period.. well priced and good quality mid tier Bordeaux left bank!
