The ample and velvety mouth presents a well-bound, fine and structured frame, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eBlack currants, cocoa nibs, dried herbs and graphite on the nose, with some peppercorns. It’s firm and focused, savory, with a medium body and sleek, firm tannins. Nicely polished. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.\u003cbr\u003e91 Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003eA rocking, upfront, textured, medium-bodied effort, the 2021 Château Lilian Ladouys offers lots of both red and black fruits, some spicy, herbal notes, fine tannins, and outstanding length. Based on 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it's a pleasure-bent, balanced, impeccably made Saint-Estèphe that will evolve for 10-15 years.\u003cbr\u003e91 Vinous\u003cbr\u003eThe 2021 Lilian Ladouys turned out well. Medium in body, with pretty, forward fruit, the 2021 is very nicely balanced. Succulent dark plum, spice, new leather, menthol and dried herbs build into the silky finish. –Antonio Galloni\u003cbr\u003e91 Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003eRound and almost fleshy, this has a nice filling texture with sweet, sour and sharp fruit - lovely bright and fresh raspberries and strawberries with tangy blueberries and cooling mint and wet stones giving minerality. Still quite a lean wine, streamlined and finessed, not layered or weighty but well presented and easy to enjoy. This will also age as it still feels a little young and tight.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 91\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Lilian Ladouys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975632097504,"sku":"102352","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-lilian-ladouys-saint-estephe_1.jpg?v=1663884264","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-lilian-ladouys-saint-estephe-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
