Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2012

94–95+
/100

Lobenberg: Vingården ledes af Nicolas Thienpont (Pavie Macquin og Beausejour Duffeau) og ligger lige ved siden af Chateau Pavie. Ønologisk overvåget af Stephane Derenoncourt. Meget velduftende vin. Friske blommer og masser af kirsebær i næsen. Munden er endnu bedre, ekstremt velsmagende. Frisk blomme i alle afskygninger. Efterfulgt af syrlige kirsebær og søde røde kirsebær. Så et strejf af sorte kirsebær. Subtile noter af cassis og brombær i baggrunden, men kirsebær og damson dominerer klart. Viser stor friskhed. Ekstremt velsmagende vin med godt drikkeflow. En rigtig sjov vin. Uden de helt store års storhed, men en fremragende vin i 2012. Alle 3 vine fra duoen Thienpont / Derenoncourt er store i 2012: Larcis Ducasse, Pavie Macquin og Beausejour Duffau! 94-95+/100

Suckling om: Chateau Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Suckling: This shows so much class and balance with blackberry and mushroom character. Some wet earth. It makes you want to drink it! Fine and ripe tannins. Gorgeous. Drink in 2018. 95/100

Parker om: Chateau Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Parker: This great terroir, long owned by the Gratiot family, has come to life under the inspired winemaking of Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt. Some recent vintages have been legendary efforts, especially 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2012 (83% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc) is right in the competition, with an inky, opaque, bluish/purple color, gorgeously sweet, rich nose of black raspberries, black cherries and currants, and licorice. The wine hits the palate with a full-bodied, thunderous effect. This blend tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, which is indicative of its fabulously exposed vineyard on a full, steep limestone slope with a primarily southern exposure. This is full-bodied, ripe and one of the great stars of the vintage – again. The wine has full-bodied texture, gorgeous purity, richness and length. Drink it over the next 20 years. 95/100

Galloni om: Chateau Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Galloni: A deep, powerful wine, the 2012 Larcis Ducasse is holding much of its obvious pedigree and potential close to the vest. Smoke, dark cherry, licorice, spice and leather emerge as this exquisitely layered Saint-Emilion opens up in the glass. The 2012 is deep, virile and intense for the year, but it also needs time to fully emerge. Smoke, game, tobacco, licorice and incense add nuance on the powerful, virile finish. One of the most promising wines of the year, the 2012 Larcis Ducasse has it all going on. Today, the 2012 comes across as understated, but there is plenty of density as well as potential in the glass. 95/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Wine Spectator: Dark and winey, with steeped currant, macerated plum and warm boysenberry coulis flavors, laced with licorice snap and roasted apple wood notes. The charcoal edge is buried on the finish, with a lingering minerality. Lots going on here. Needs time. 93/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- NM: The Larcis-Ducasse is a blend of 83% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc picked on 11th-18th October and 18th October respectively, cropped at 28hl/ha. The nose is very complete even at this primal stage with copious but regimented dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit – the oak seamless integrated and lending it great volume. The palate is ripe and sexy on the entry with seamless tannins and a velvety texture. It is very controlled, very focused – modern in style but filled to the brim with panache. Nothing out of place here! Very good potential. 93-95/100
