Château Laffitte Carcassset St Estèphe 2021

Cinammon spice, heavy extraction, black cherry fruits with violet edges, there is plenty to enjoy through the palate here, with weight to the tannins but the oak a little dominant, with high acidities cutting things short. Should soften further over ageing. Tasted twice, three weeks apart.
