Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2000

Description

Description

From Wine Advocate 87 Points

"This is a spectacular terroir that has underachieved for years. However, hotshot guru Stephane Derenoncourt is behind the winemaking as of 2002, so everyone is expecting quality to soar. A pre-Derenoncourt wine, the 2000 is the finest Larcis Ducasse produced in many years. Full-bodied and ripe, with intense, herb-tinged black cherry fruit, admirable texture and mid-palate, this elegant, moderately tannic, dark ruby-colored wine is far superior to recent efforts. A certain dusty quality to the tannins may prove troublesome. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017."-Robert M. Parker, Jr.,23rd Apr 2003

The palate is medium-bodied and actually demonstrates more composure and harmony than the aromatics suggest. The tannins are quite fine and it feels silky smooth towards the finish. - WA

Good brambly energy leads off here, with a mix of cassis, bitter cherry and plum puree flavors entwined with red licorice and floral notes. The juicy finish pulls everything together. - WS
