2018 Chateau Larcis-Ducasse St. Emilion Grand Cru (6 x Bottle)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Larcis Ducasse features wonderfully expressive scents of baked black and red plums, kirsch, rose hip tea and cigar box with hints of pencil shavings, baked redcurrants and truffles plus a waft of licorice. Full-bodied and beautifully nuanced on the palate, it has layer upon layer of red and black fruit preserves with beautiful, velvety tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

The 2018 Larcis Ducasse was cropped at 33hL/ha from 21 to 26 September for the Merlot and 1 to 4 October for the Cabernet Franc. This has a more floral bouquet compared to the previous vintage: iris and peony aromas infusing the black and blueberry fruit, hints of orange rind emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity emanating from the asteriated limestone. There is undoubtedly intensity here, although this is allied by a linearity that imparts a sense of classicism. Great potential.
