2005 Chateau Larrivet-Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux

The 2005 Larrivet-Haut-Brion received 90 points from Robert Parker:  "The deep, dark plum/ruby-tinged 2005 exhibits a bouquet of smoke, graphite, black currants, cherries, and roasted herbs.  With supple tannins, a round, generous, broad palate impression, good sweetness and purity, decent acidity, and ripe tannins, it is an approachable Graves wine that should drink beautifully for 15 or more years."  The list price is $35.
