Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 28 Sep 22
The 2008 Larcis Ducasse is a blend of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet colored, it gallops out of the glass with energetic, ready-to-go scents of baked black plums, boysenberry preserves, and stewed black cherries, complemented by suggestions of dried roses, dusty soil, cumin seed, and Sichuan pepper. The elegantly crafted, medium-bodied palate is graceful and refreshing, featuring ripe, rounded tannins and loads of evolving layers, finishing long and fragrant.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 02 May 11
The 2008 Larcis Ducasse (14.2% natural alcohol) is composed of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc. Although closed at present and less prodigious than I predicted two years ago, it reveals an opaque purple color, plenty of sweet fruitcake, black currant, kirsch, forest floor and earthy characteristics, a full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet tannins and a long finish. It just does not appear to have the extra gear or two I tasted from barrel. Nevertheless, it is an outstanding wine and if it is priced fairly, it should be a definite purchase to enjoy over the next 20+ years.

The 2008 Larcis Ducasse has a precocious bouquet that you might mistake for a 2009: kirsch, mint, star anis, black cherries and a touch of Xmas cake. It just comes across a little too strong for my liking and I still find some VA here, perhaps more so than the previous bottle tasted a year ago. The palate is actually better with grainy tannins, firm grip and a pleasant chalky texture. I find this a little reserved and serious on the finish where I would have liked more flesh. There needs to be more vivacity here. Tasted at the Larcis Ducasse vertical in Bordeaux.

Tasted blind. Sweet, charming nose. Good freshness and integration. Straightforward without excess tannin and lots of vigour. Excellent balance. (JR)

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
