Château Lilian Ladouys 2015 – Saint-Estèphe – Cru Bourgeois

The nose is fruity, powerful, elegant, racy and offers concentration. It reveals notes of cassis, cherry and wild raspberry combined with spicy touches as well as slight hints of chocolate / mocha, toasted oak / sweet spices and an imperceptible hint of almond. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a nice mineral frame (slight minerality), a slight acidity, a good definition, elegance, suavity, a slight straightness as well as precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of wild raspberry, juicy cassis and slight notes of crushed / riped redcurrant combined with touches of toasted oak, slight touches of chocolate (in the background) and caramelization / almond. Tannins are supple and straight.
