2018 Château Lilian Ladouys

St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/3/2021 - racerchris Likes this wine: 90 points

Rather enjoyable considering that its been in bottle for just 6 months or so. Quite juicy, with strong but not harsh tannins and no excessive new oak. Lower acidity.
It reminds me somewhat of the 2009.
59% Cabernet, 37% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. 14.5% abv
Definitely has a good foundation for development of some complexity.

Needs a lot of air. Left open for 24hrs and a 2hrs decant. Very nice and enjoyable. Obvious oak but well balanced, nice depth and long.

Nice inexpensive Bordeaux. Not overly complex but some dark fruit and leather with a bit of earth. Easy to drink alone or with food. Drink now.

Tasting portion daily for 7 days (recork + fridge). Lots of black fruit, cigar, herby/mint. Wine is unbalanced with tannin overpowers the fruits at every stage over 7 days. Towards the ends, fruits starts to fade while tannin is still significant. Don't know if tannin will resolve faster or fruit fades faster in the long run.

Härlig färg, mkt kraft, men fortfarande slutet.
Inte i klass med priset.
Kräver troligtvis 5 års lagring ytterligare

Un vin rouge avec du fond. Des notes de cuir sur une bouche avec du cèdre et des bleuets. Très beau et racé. 91 sur 100.

Who said that ‘17 is a weak vintage? Nose announces a serious St Estephe, through and through. Pencil lead, ash, and sour plum buried deep below. Palate is medium bodied and poised, but saturated with cigar ash, black fruit with red at the edges, a whiff of mint, a slug of overt oak, and ripe stoic tannins. At 13.2% this comes across as fairly classic, with just a hint of gloss from the oak. Needs time to integrate but I think it’s as good as the ‘16 or nearly so. 91++

I see the appeal for those that favor modern-styled wines: ripe, concentrated, supple. It’s also what it doesn’t appeal to me: low acid, lacking in terroir, and just too eager to please. Regardless, it’s in spot where the tannins are supple but all the primary fruit is still showcased.

Luscious. Deep, dark but also elegant. All the requisite elegance and energy of a great Bordeaux, with a lingering peppery finish. Just gorgeous. Served, appropriately, with French cuisine from a local joint called Cafe Bizou.

This is drinking nicely now, with just a little air. Elegant oak flavors lead the red and black fruit, followed by a little dry tannin and spices.
Solid, and very enjoyable.

Took a gamble on these after reading some wonderful reviews of recent vintages and it was well worth it! Beautiful round merlot fruit filled with bright cherry and red currant. Lovely Cru Bourgeois from St Estephe. Definitely worth a try, superb! Going to give my other bottles 4 years and they should hit their stride beautifully.

Deep ruby. Lots of fruit with emphasis och plums and cassis. Spices and quite a lot of oak. Finely balanced acidity. Lots of tannins. Great now but will improve a lot with cellering.

Really different than 2 years ago with the fruit coming to the forefront and the tannins subsiding to make a terrific weekday drink. Insanely delicious for the cost, yet required patience. Much better, as of now, than the 2010. Time will tell.

In the nose some licorice and coffee nicely integrated in the black Forrest fruit. Well balanced with good length. Can lie for some years but will it still improve a lot? Don’t know. And I never will. This was my last bottle.

This is not to the level of the multidimensional 2009. It has aromas of iron and chocolate infused blackberries, cassis, plums and spice. Its medium bodied a bit foursquare yet opulent black, blue and red fruits palate has nice freshnesss, a good oaky fruity middle and ends longish, fresh and dry. 14%. Needs 4-5 hrs aeration. Lay down 5 years.

Still deep ruby purple with just a hint of garnet at the rim
Still fresh ripe dark currant and blackberry flavors
This is in fabulous shape and in no sign of decline despite the advertised drinking window, rather perfect drinking.

Nez classique pour un bordeaux, tanins et boisé fondus, le vin n'est pas très puissant mais très agréable et équilibré. Pas de signe de décli, c'est bon.

This was a fantastic value Bordeaux from a great vintage. We opened this and it was full of notes of dark cherries, dark chocolate, and hints of eucalyptus. The palate is medium to full bodied, good depth, and a nice mouth feel. It has decent complexity and a great taste. We had this with home made pizza and pasta and it was a perfect combination. I am not much of Bordeaux drinker - but this was very pleasant, elegant, and overall delicious. Would absolutely buy again.
