Ch. Lilian Ladouys Rouge (Futures Pre-sale) 2011

"The Lilian Ladouys has a very pretty bouquet with lifted ripe blackberry fruit laced with finely tuned vanillary oak. The palate is also feminine, pretty and pure with supple black fruits and a very composed, focused finish. This is a very well made, delicious Saint Estèphe from a rejuvenated estate.
Barrel Sample:91-93 Points"

The Wine Advocate

"Ripe, modern style, with spicy, succulent blueberry, cassis and plum sauce flavors. But there's good typicity too, with a lightly bracing chalky edge defining the finish. Barrel Score: 89-92"

Wine Spectator

"A wine with deep tannins and a very dry character, this is big and solid, but maybe lacking fruit.
Barrel Sample: 88-90 Points"
