E-ONE SIXTY 9000
By Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion
2016 Red Pessac-Leognan Red
2016 Weather Conditions
Very rainy winter and spring, which allowed us to recharge the water tables. Hot and dry summer with relatively cool nights. At the beginning of September, a rainy episode allowed for the perfect ripening of the grapes. Harvest under sunny conditions, without rain, allowing the perfect maturation of the Cabernets until the end of October.

Product Information
Tasting Notes
The color is dark ruby with purple reflections. The nose opens up with a bright fruit. It continues with smoky, spicy (cumin seed, anise) cigar box notes, characteristic of the great Cabernets from the Leognan region. The impression remains fresh. The tannins are powerful yet very nicely grained. The palate is dense and long; the finish becomes salivating. This racy wine offers us a mouth-watering persistence and freshness. Concentrated, colorful, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. It is made to last.
