Laffitte Carcasset St-Estephe Ginestet 2024

The 2024 Laffitte-Carcasset is terrific. Persistent floral and earthy notes, red-toned fruit, new leather and cedar give this mid-weight Saint-Estèphe a good deal of complexity. The 2024 impresses with its energy and fine balance, both commendable in this challenging vintage. Drinking window: 2026-2034. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
