Critique Review
“A round, juicy red with plum and chocolate aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, round-tannined and flavorful at the finish. Soft and juicy.”
91 pts, James Suckling
“The 2019 Laffitte-Carcasset is a fabulous Cru Bourgeois to drink over the next decade or so. Inky dark fruit, lavender, mint, crème de cassis, menthol and licorice all run through this mid-weight, impeccably balanced Saint-Estèphe. The purity of the flavors is just striking. More than anything else, the 2019 is an absolute joy to taste.”
91 - 93 pts, A.Galloni, Vinous
“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Chateau Laffitte Carcasset leaps from the glass with notes of freshly crushed blackberries, warm blackcurrants and redcurrant jelly plus hints of violets, pencil shavings, wild sage and beef drippings. Medium-bodied, the palate is chock-full of crunchy black fruits supported by ripe, grainy tannins and compelling freshness, offering a satisfying finish of fresh berries with a minty Kick.”
