Château Laffite Carcasset 2019 – Saint-Estèphe 

The nose is fruity and offers a fine richness, a small racy power. It reveals notes of crushed strawberry, small ripe/crushed red berries, small notes of ripe cassis associated with touches of cherry, zan, nutmeg as well as discreet hints of vanilla, cuben pepper and a very discreet hint of mild tobacco (in the background). The palate is fruity, mineral and offers suavity, a small fat, an acidulous frame and a fine richness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/acidulous wild raspberry, crushed small red berries, small notes of wild strawberry associated with touches of juicy/ripe cassis, violet, a racy minerality as well as hints of mild tobacco, toasted, caramelization and discreet hints of sweet spices/cloves (in the background). Good length. Notes of toasted hazelnut and vanilla on the persistence. Tannins are very finely chewy. Sapidity and suavity on the finish/persistence.
