Larcis Ducasse 2014 75cl

The nose is really glorious with strawberry, wet-earth, blackberry and dark-mushroom character. Full body, a solid core of fruit and beautiful tannins. It’s polished and velvety. Better in 2022 but gorgeous.

This sports some dark fig and boysenberry confiture fruit, laced with a mulling spice hint. Waves of tobacco start to fill in on the back end before the fruit reemerges with a purer edge. A substantial chalky spine pulls everything together. Best from 2022 through 2032.—J.M

The 2014 Larcis-Ducasse has a lovely bouquet: quite complex compared to its Saint Emilion peers, adorned with rose petal notes complementing the cranberry and wild strawberry fruit, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, brown spices and leather fusing with the red berries that segue into an atypically structured and classically styled finish that shows good length. This is an excellent Larcis-Ducasse that should give 20 years of drinking pleasure, possibly more.<br/>

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Klar ausgerichtetes Bouquet mit dunkelbeeriger Frucht, Rauch und Lakritze. Im Gaumen mit einer charakteristischen Strenge, zeigt so Muskeln, aber auch Potential. Wird recht viel Zeit brauchen und dabei tendenziell rustikal, respektive charaktervoll bleiben. 17/20 2023 – 2039
