  Smoked, cherries, strawberry, smoked meats, spearmint, and cigar smoke create the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, elegant, soft, silky and refined. The finish is loaded with sweet, red pit fruits, with chocolate-mint coming in at the end of the refined finish. The wine is made from 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc and 18% Merlot. 14% ABV, 3.71 pH. Yields were 40 hectoliters. 38% of the harvest was placed into the Grand Vin. Picking took place September 6 - September 28. It is interesting to note that Larrivet was the first known wine of the 2022 futures campaign to be offered, and it was priced at a discount to 2021! Drink from 2026-2045. 93-95 Pts.

  93 vvPunkte / Ausdrucksstark, intensiv fruchtig, Cassis und Brombeeren, viel Floralität. Im Gaumen frisch, lebendig, knackige Frucht, feinkörniges Tannin, man möchte gleich schlucken, so balanciert ist dieses Fruchtbündel. Langer, fruchtbetonter Abgang. Ausgezeichnet und mit Eleganz!

  En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Slightly sour smelling blackcurrant backed by red plum, sweet spice, a little caramel, cedar, more of the same on the palate with plenty of drying, chewy tannins taking precedence and closing down the palate. Hmm.
