Antonio Galloni 97 points www.vinous.com One of the stars of the vintage, the 2015 Larcis Ducasse is intensely aromatic, silky and totally sensual from the very first taste. The purity of the fruit here is striking. Even so, it will be many years before the 2015 is ready to show all it’s got. Today, it is the wine’s total sense of harmony that is absolutely alluring. A rush of raspberry jam, pomegranate and blood orange leaves a lasting impression. The 2015 is a dramatic, richly-textured Larcis Ducasse long on class and pedigree. The blend is 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc picked between September 28 and October 12 and aged in 50% new oak. Tasted two times.
Neal Martin 94-96 points www.robertparker.com The 2015 Larcis-Ducasse is a blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet France, picked between 28 September and 10 October, 7-13 October respectively. Cropped at 37 hl/ha it is being matured in 500-liter barrels. It has an intense nose of raspberry preserve, boysenberries and an almost honeyed-like richness that thankfully retains freshness and delineation, when it could have been over-powering. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, a little grainy in texture, very well-balanced and graceful, gently building to a convincing, quite minerally, blackberry and wild strawberry finish. There is superb terroir expression here, an excellent Larcis-Ducasse that should offer 3-4 decades of drinking pleasure.
Jean-Marc Quarin 95 points www.quarin.com Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en primeur. Enthousiasmé par le succès du 2012 et très excité par la climatologie de 2015, je ne voyais pas comment ce vin, exposé sur la côte sud, n’aurait pas réussi un grand 2015 ! Couleur pourpre, intense et belle. Nez complexe, au fruité pur, mûr et intense. Bouche à la fois de suite ample et très raffinée. Le vin fond au palais, gracieux, juteux, avec un caractère tendu aussi, mais fin, enrobé et noble. Vu son pH, il y a de fortes chances pour que l’élevage le révèle plus encore. Assemblage : 87 % merlot et 13 % cabernet franc. Degré d’alcool : 14,4° – pH : 3,5.
Jeb Dunnuck 96 points www.jebdunnuck.com A more elegant, finesse-driven style of cuvee than normal, the 2015 Château Larcis-Ducasse is comprised of close to 90% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc. It reveals a terrific bouquet of cassis, spring flowers, cedary spice and forest floor, with more graphite and lead pencil nuances developing as it sat in the glass. With full-bodied richness, a tight, backward, yet promising style on the palate, beautiful tannin quality, and a great finish, it’s an undeniably classy, balanced 2015 that will reward 2-4 years of bottle age.
