One of the highlights in this tasting, the 2010 Larcis Ducasse is simply stunning. Although quite fresh, vibrant and intense, the 2010 is also very closed in on itself. Violet, lavender, graphite and menthol are some of the many notes that give the 2010 its energy and tension. Still very much closed, the 2010 is going to need a good few years to come into its own. Still, it is pretty impressive today. With time in the glass, the 2010 gives a very good idea of what is to come for those who can wait. März 2017

The 2010 Larcis-Ducasse has an exuberant fleshy and vivacious bouquet with plenty of red cherries and wild strawberry fruit laced with sous-bois and hints of sandalwood. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins, perhaps more like 2009 in style. Well balanced with impressive body, it has a very persistent and convincing finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. April 2020

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Larcis Ducasse opens a little subdued, offering glimpses of tobacco leaf, cast-iron pan and dusty soil over a core of raisin cake and Indian spices plus a touch of figs. Full-bodied, rich and seductive, it has firm, plush tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and spicy. März 2020

Wow. This is really intense with amazing dark fruit character of crushed blueberries and minerals. It’s full-bodied, with super integrated tannins and a superb finish that lasts for minutes. A fabulous wine. Better in 2019. October 2012
