2014 Chateau Larcis Ducasse

Other Reviews...
The Château Larcis-Ducasses is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc cropped at 37.5 hectoliter per hectare between 1 and 14 October. It has a strangely "distant" nose that is difficult to engage with at first, then a wave of super-ripe crème de cassis and blueberry fruit whose purity cannot be denied. The palate is full-bodied with soft ripe tannins, plush in the mouth with well-judged acidity, a touch of mineralité on the finish. Again, this is a modern style of Saint Emilion delivered with oodles of panache. This will be no more, no less than "delicious". Drink 2019 - 2035.

Features cherry, creamed strawberry and red licorice notes that seem almost too easy at first, but then the back half kicks in, with a chalky spine and extra energy. Pure and long.

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Managed by Nicolas Thienpont. Expressive, dark fruit-cassis aroma and flavour. Powerful but refined tannins matched by abundant fruit. Fresh and poised. Lovely length and precision. Delicious.

This has a dark fruit, blueberry with limestone and mineral character. Raisin skin. Full body, firm tannins and a firm and long finish. Tannic and lively.
