Tasted ex-chateau and single blind in Southwold. The Larcis-Ducasse is clean, pure and elegant on the nose with wild strawberry and blueberry aromas, well-integrated oak and floral, pressed flower aromas developing with time. It is opulent, but not over-bearing. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, black olive and rounded black fruits that lead to a finely focused, almost tertiary finish. This is one of finest wines from this Saint Emilion estate in recent years. Tasted January 2012.
