The 2024 Lilian Ladouys is a very pretty, mid-weight Saint-Estèphe. Floral and savoury notes open first, leading to a core of red berry fruit. Lithe and elegant, with fine balance, Lilian Ladouys is quite the charmer. There's just a bit of tightness on the finish, but élevage should take care of that. Tasted two times. 89-91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2025).
