The 2013 Larrivet Haut Brion was unfortunately quite green on the nose, with herbaceous red fruit that needs a few more days under the sun. The palate is medium-bodied with good volume, but quite rustic with a sour tang towards the hard finish. There have been much better wines from this estate in recent years and this falls a little short of my expectations given its showing in barrel.
