Wine Critic Reviews
A beautiful effort that's more sensual and seamless than Thienpont's more structured, brooding Pavie Macquin, the 2020 Larcis Ducasse unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, bay leaf, rose petals and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with refined tannins, lively acids and a suave, fleshy profile, it concludes with a long, expansive finish. This is a particular success in 2020.

The 2020 Larcis Ducasse has a pure bouquet with mainly red berry fruit, sage, rosemary and touches of freshly tilled loam. It flirts with overripeness—only flirts. The palate is medium-bodied, vibrant and lightly spiced, with fine tannins and a concentrated, slightly viscous finish. This is a long-term prospect and a wine of real class. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
