Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Neal Martin gibt 91-93 Punkte und schreibt: "The 2016 Chateau Laffitte Carcasset offers attractive cedar infused black fruit on the nose, hints of red plum following just behind, quite detailed with abundant fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin that exert a gentle grip, a masculine Saint Estephe that is harmonious and focused, the finish testifying that just the right amount of oak was employed. Great job here!" - WINE ETHUSIAST, Roger Voss gibt 92 Punkte und schreibt: "Situated on the gravel plateau of Saint-Estèphe, this estate has produced a richly structured wine with fine tannins and dense black fruits. The 70% Cabernet Sauvignon offers black-currant flavors and acidity plus plenty of firm tannins for aging. Drink the wine from 2024." - Falstaff gibt 90 Punkte und schreibt: Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, dezente Randaufhellung, einladendes rotes Waldbeerkonfit, Nuancen von Kirschen, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, feine Fruchtsüße, integrierte Tannine, bleibt haften, kirschig auch im Nachhall, vielseitig einsetzbar.
