Château Laffitte Carcasset St Estèphe 2014

Medium ruby, heading to tertiary on the aromatics and the palate. Retracts rather than expands through the mid palate, but this has gentle charm, tobacco and iris flowers, charming, a thoroughly enoyable wine but could be 10 years older than the vintage on the label. 30% new oak, harvest September 29 to October 19. Pierre Rousseau owner, 35ha of vines.
