Pre-Arrival. Estimated in Warehouse by Summer 2023
94 Points Wine Enthusiast
Barrel Sample. Texture and taut acidity are the hallmarks of this wine. It has the potential for great fruitiness and a fine richness to come as the wine develops. With its hints of spice and its concentration, the wine needs plenty of time.
93 Points Wine Advocate
The 2020 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is a little closed to begin, soon unfurling to offer notes of fresh yellow apple, ripe Bosc pears and key lime pie, plus subtle hints of paraffin wax and lemongrass. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with apple and citrus layers, supported by compelling tension, finishing steely.
93 Points Vinous
The 2020 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc marries a sweet tropical bouquet with a real feeling of power on the palate. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and pineapple open in the glass. The 2020 is a potent, explosive Blanc with a lot to say. I loved it.
93 Points Wine Spectator
This has a bitter citrus oil edge that lends some viscosity to the otherwise bright and racy yuzu, star fruit and gooseberry notes, while quinine and verbena fill in on the finish for added range and length. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2027.
93 Points James Suckling
A dense, waxy white with sliced apple, lemon rind and some honey character. It’s full-bodied and layered. All old-style, but shows depth and ripeness.
