Sipping Fine Wine 
The vines of Lilian-Ladouys are found a stone's throw from the Graves of Cos d'Estournel and the Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Deep Ruby red color, with inky tones, blend of 62% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, aged in French oak for 15 months, aromas of black and blue fruit, smoky notes and soft spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with toasty oak flavors, full body with fine tannins, long finish ending with earthy menthol mineral character.

2016 vintage. Merlot (62%), Cabernet Sauvignon (32%), 6% Petit Verdot. Owned by the Lorenzetti family, with plots of vineyards all over the Saint-Estèphe appellation. Medium-bodied, fresh and mineral. Fine value.

Great vintage for LL, floral, with crushed berry and plum notes. Beautifully balanced extraction, intense and direct.

Right Bank Blend of Merlot (68%), Cabernet Sauvignon (32%) and Petite Verdot (6%). Bright aromas of blue/black berries, violets, tar and cedar. The palate is full of black and blue fruit with hints of chocolate, baking spices, orange peel, menthol, graphite and dried herbs. Medium/plus body and chalky tannins. Vibrant and elegant. The softness of the Merlot shines through. Thanks to Alex L. For sharing this bottle.

Château Lilian Ladouys Saint-Estèphe 2016: Medium-plus bodied. Round tannins. High acidity. Black fruits. Blueberry. Plum. Vanilla. Leather. Oak. Great finish. Consisting of 62% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon & 6% Petit Verdot, this red Bordeaux blend presents power & smoothness yet still quite youthful & evolving. Overall, very pleasing & delightful with a lot of value for the price. Great weekend to all! Cheers

Very classic with dark fruit, some light cedar notes, a whiff of green pepper. Very young & quite closed. Nice mouthfeel already with beautifully polished fine & juicy tannins, great balance & poise. Nice length & presence. 7h decanting still tight. would benefit from more time & age so keep! A proper nice classic Bordeaux.
