70% merlot and 30% cabernet sauvignon. From a 43-hectare vineyard planted on sand, clay, and limestone with an average vine age of 35 years. Aged for 14-16 months in 35% new barrels. Opaque purple core and with a fuchsia rim. Persistent cherry blossom and cassis perfume with an underlay of fresh earth and loamy soil. Concentrated black plum and blackberry flavor show good power and intensity on the midpalate, leading to a lengthy finish with ripe, fine-grained tannins. Definitely another candidate for sleeper of the vintage from St. Estephe and the entire Left Bank. Drink upon release to 2025.

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. Tasted April 2012.

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.-J.M.
