Lilian Ladouys St-Estephe 2024

The 2024 Lilian Ladouys is a very pretty, mid-weight Saint-Estèphe. Floral and savory 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. Drinking window: 2026-2034. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
