VertdeVin
The nose is fresh, racy and offers a certain elegance as well as intensity in control and a certain finesse in its power. There are notes of pulpy cherry, fresh/ripe wild strawberry and more slightly pulpy berries combined with hints of violet, liquorice, and subtle hints of violet, lily, sweet spice and pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, fresh and offers minerality, good definition, roundness, sweetness, fine grain, controlled richness and good definition/purity of the fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cherry, pulpy/juicy wild raspberry and more slightly pulpy blackcurrant combined with hints of blueberry, lily as well as fine nuances of sweet blond tobacco, vanilla and a subtle hint of positive bitterness. There is a fine hint of roast in the background.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Lilian Ladouys comes bounding out of the glass with expressive scents of crushed blackberries, cassis and boysenberries with touches of dried Provence herbs, charcoal, clove oil and espresso. The medium-bodied palate is charged with energy, offering firm grainy tannins and electric freshness to support the tightly wound black fruits, finishing with loads of invigorating herbal and mineral sparks. A property to watch—in 2018, the Lorenzetti family purchased two neighbor estates, Château Clauzet and Château Tour de Pez, adding these to the Lilian Ladouys vineyard to almost double its planted area to 77 hectares. These additional vineyards are composed of gravelly soils of the same level as the best blocks of Lilian Ladouys. Soils are a typically Saint-Estèphe mix of sandy-gravel and clay with some limestone deposits. It is planted at 8,500-10,000 vines per hectare, with an average vine age of 36 years in 2019.

Always including plenty of Merlot, the 2019 Château Lilian Ladouys emerges from a gravelly site in Saint-Estèphe. Its deep purple color is followed by a big, juicy bouquet of ripe black cherries, kirsch, blueberries, leafy herbs, and cedar pencil. Nicely textured, medium to full-bodied, and with some chewy tannins which will be more integrated from bottle, it shows the fruit purity and sexiness that's the hallmark of the vintage, has good balance, and a great finish.
Druvor

Tasting note
'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.'
