Château Lilian Ladouys 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. A fine and spicy wine, the wood toast well integrated with the sweet fruit. Deliciously ripe Merlot vies with the Cabernet tannins to give a dark, complex wine.

Château Lilian Ladouys 2008 Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Online Exclusive
Since the futures tasting in 2009, the wood element has been tamed. It is still an important factor, but the fruit has blossomed, showing a solid core of tannins, surrounded by dark plum and red fruit flavors. It will need many years, but everything is here now.

Château Lilian Ladouys 2011 Barrel Sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Online Exclusive
88-90. Barrel sample. A wine with deep tannins and a very dry character, this is big and solid, but maybe lacking fruit.

Château Lilian Ladouys 2004 Red (Saint-Estèphe)
With the 2003 vintage, Lilian-Ladouys returned to its previous form after a fallow period. This 2004 is a good follow up. It has ripe black plum and mint flavors, and solid, dense tannins, leavened by juicy acidity.

Château Lilian Ladouys 2003 Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- $17
From a mosaic of 90 different scattered parcels, oenologue Georges Pauli has constructed a firm style of wine, with Saint-Estèphe’s characteristic tannins and fresh black currant fruits. This is a structured wine, which should certainly age well. Imported by Fruit of the Vines, Inc.

Château Lilian Ladouys 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)
- Online Exclusive
85-87 Barrel sample. High wood here, with spicy toast. The fruit is lean by comparison, hinting at freshness, but not giving much through the wood and tannin.
