The medium- to full-bodied palate shows delineated dark fruit with a smoky, saline and savory mineral profile, leading to a focused, precise finish. A blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon, 20% cabernet franc and 5% merlot.

Based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot and aged 14-16 months in 50% new French oak with 35% in one-year-old barrels and 15% in terracotta jars for a portion of the Merlot, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out and buying. I like it even today, yet it's going to shine with 4-5 years of bottle age and have two decades of longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated 94\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bommarito","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43833402556534,"sku":"580270415228","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/9717\/7206\/files\/Larrivet_Haut_Brion.png?v=1784053125","url":"https:\/\/www.wineandcheeseplace.com\/products\/chateau-larrivet-haut-brion-rouge-2023","provider":"The Wine \u0026 Cheese Place","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
