Sadie Family, Treinspoor Vintage:2021 The 2009 Larrivet Haut-Brion feels

The 2009 Larrivet Haut-Brion feels a little pinched on the nose

This is a pleasure just to smell

This border-line massive effort will require the better part of a decade to reach its full potential but should be well worth the wait as the underlying material is most impressive

There is a superb sense of underlying tension to the much more mineral-driven flavors that are also stunningly dense and powerful yet the bone dry and hugely long finish is an exercise in grace and harmony

A less elegant and slightly more wood-influenced nose offers up restrained aromas of essence of white flowers that includes rose petal
