The 2005 Larcis Ducasse is blessed with one of my favourite bouquets with redcurrant, cranberry, orange zest and rose petal aromas – really effervescent and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, very harmonious and almost Burgundian with tobacco and cedar towards the structured and persistent finish. This is superb and it will give many years of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the Larcis Ducasse vertical in Bordeaux.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2050
Tasted single blind at Southwold. Ripe sweet macerated dark cherries, sloes and cassis on the nose – lots of extraction here and it actually reminds me more of the Napa than Saint Emilion. It is undeniably very smooth on the entry, layers of new oak so that it is difficult to get to the wine underneath. Svelte but lacking complexity and personality. Tasted January 2009.
