2009. Full. Rich. Balance. Great verve and terroir driven character still shines through the ripeness.

In the nose this Château Larcis Ducasse 2009 offers an inviting and complex bouquet. Primary aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries are prominent. These are complemented by secondary notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of graphite. As the wine opens up, it reveals layers of truffle, leather, and sweet spices such as cinnamon and cloves. This simply is a great nose In the mouth the palate is rich, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced. The wine displays an impressive structure with silky, well-integrated tannins. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and black cherry dominate, supported by nuances of dark chocolate, espresso, and earthy undertones. This is a real treat because it’s so easy drinking. The finish is long, smooth, and elegant, lingering with notes of dark fruit, vanilla, and a touch of smokiness. Overall this wine is an exemplary wine from Saint-Émilion, showcasing the best characteristics of the vintage and type of wine, mine kind of a wine

Everything you expect in a Bordeaux. Very full bodied - paired perfectly with steak. Seemed well aged.

09 was good. Not much going on. Clovey. Wouldn't go out of my way to try more.

This is a pure sex machine! Red fruit, chocolate, coffee, chocolate, silky and a very long aftertaste. What a performance by this Chateau since 2005. Deserves a spot next to the big boys! Bravo!

After about 2 hours in a decanter this wine is utterly delightful and I wish I had a second bottle. The color screams youth! The nose is soft and caressing with hints of blue and blackberry coupled with hits of cloves and cedar. The pallet is slightly acidic with very well balanced tannins. The tongue screams hits of wood and minearlality and the fruits just pass through the taste. So yummy and would definitely drink again!
