The grapes are hand-sorted, vinification occurs all in concrete and spans four weeks, with the élevage in 50% new French oak. A normal blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Château Larcis Ducasse reminds me of the 2005 and is up with the top handful of wines on the Right Bank. It has a brilliant perfume of red and black fruits, white truffle, leafy tobacco, and Asian spices. This carries to a full-bodied, concentrated, powerful Larcis-Ducasse with ultra-fine yet building tannins, perfect balance, a stacked mid-palate, and one heck of a great finish. It's going to flirt with perfection in 7-8 years (I'm probably underrating it a point) and have 30 years of overall longevity. Tasted numerous times with consistent results.\" \u003c\/span\u003eJeb Dunnuck - 99 Points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FineLiquors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43339093377195,"sku":"F14","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0107\/5009\/9519\/files\/LarcisDucasse2020F2.jpg?v=1705177967"},{"product_id":"2016-larcis-ducasse","title":"2016 Chateau Larcis Ducasse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Full bodied, luxurious, deep, fresh and sweet, the wine has power, purity, minerality and length.
