  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Fresh espresso, blackberries, flowers, spice box, chocolate and spearmint create the complex nose. On the palate, the wine really shines with its layers of ripe, sweet, fresh and vibrant cherries and blackberries, creamy tannins and hint of cocoa in the finish. And as good as this wine is, it sells for a song. Fans of Left Bank Bordeaux should be all over this gem. Drink from 2024-2040."

  Decanter
  Clean and crisp, this is smooth and satisfying, silky and expressive with lovely chalky sensation to the well-integrated tannins and high acidity. Balanced weight on the palate, this feels well worked and charming. I love the gentle framing, it still has definition and push, but the red and cool blue fruit and herbal accents are more to the fore than the texture right now giving lots of nuance and detail. First year in organic conversion."

  Seemingly always terrific, the 2020 Château Lilian Ladouys shows the class of the vintage and has a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, yet silky, perfectly balanced style with tons to love. Darker fruits, damp earth, truffle, and beautiful spice-driven aromatics define this beauty, and while it's already accessible, I'm sure will evolve gracefully for 10-15 years."

  Weinwisser
  59 % Merlot, 37 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 1 % Cabernet Franc, 3 % Petit Verdot. Sattes Purpur mit opaker Mitte und zartem lila Rand. Intensives Bouquet nach frischen Waldbeeren und Lakritze, dahinter helles Malz, parfümierter Pfeifentabak und edle Cassiswürze. Am dichten Gaumen mit weicher Textur, feinkörniges Extrakt und engmaschiges Tanningerüst, fein spröde werdend. Im konzentrierten Finale kleine schwarze Beeren, dunkles Graphit und fein mürbe Adstringenz. Alles am richtigen Platz, der kann noch zulegen."

  This is a young 2020 that is back ended with a serious finish of solid and polished tannins and plenty of juicy fruit. Medium body. Racy structured. Excellent length at the end. Try after 2025."

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2020 Lilian Ladouys offers up aromas of cassis, licorice and a deft touch of creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rather rich and broad palate framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. It's a touch more structured than the demonstrative 2019 and will require a little patience."
