Château Lilian Ladouys 2010 Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Price $35

Obviously wood-aged, with a smoky toast flavor, this is a wine that shows the power of Saint-Estèphe tannins in full force. At the same time, there is a blackberry character that adds richness and juiciness, which cuts through the dry core. Age for at least 7–8 years. — R.V. (2/1/2013)

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. — R.V. (8/9/2010)

points

Château Lilian Ladouys 2012 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Estèphe)

Online Exclusive

90–92. Barrel sample. Spicy new wood and the characteristically firm tannins of Saint-Estèphe yield a solid, chunky, powerful wine. With so much black plum, ginger and all-spice character, it's already quite complex and will develop well. — R.V. (4/11/2013)

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. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

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. — R.V. (6/1/2007)

points

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. — R.V. (5/11/2012)
