Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2016 Saint Emilion
Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:The 2016 Larcis Ducasse is absolutely gorgeous. Fresh. vibrant and alluring. with tremendous vibrancy. the 2016 has so much to offer. Expressive savory and blood orange notes add brightness to the red cherry and plum fruit. with beams of firm yet well-integrated tannins that give the wine its shape and energy. In 2016. Larcis brings together undeniable raciness and power in a complete package that is irresistibly beautiful. Give it a few years in bottle for the tannins to soften.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2016 Larcis Ducasse sashays gracefully out of the glass with beautiful Black Forest cake. red cherry compote. raspberry preserves and blackberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box. Ceylon tea. dried lavender and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers gorgeous red and black fruit preserves flavors with a wonderfully plush texture and very long. perfumed finish.
James Suckling Februar 2019:The aromas here are so spellbinding with shitake mushrooms. wet earth and moss. as well as tree bark and. finally. dark fruit. The palate is incredible as it builds and grows with full body. but always tight and reserved. It shows so much depth and complexity. Please try not to touch this until 2025.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2016 im April 2017:
The 2016 Larcis-Ducasse is a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc picked between 12-19 October. matured in 225- and 500-liter barrels. It matured in 50% new oak. which is a lower proportion than you would have found in 2009 or 2010. It has a lively. expressive bouquet with detailed blackberry. briary and cranberry aromas that are neatly embroidered with the new oak. allowing the terroir to show through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. very well balanced. quite spicy and peppery in the mouth but maintaining satisfying tension from start to finish. This is a very well crafted Larcis-Ducasse although I hope that during the élevage it will just gain more persistence on the aftertaste. One to watch.
