Tasted both at the chateau and then blind at Farr Vintners' tasting, the 2006 Chateau Larcis Ducasse is maturing nicely, far better than the Beauséjour Duffau Lagarrosse that I tasted side by side. It has plenty of ripe black cherry, strawberry pastille and creme de cassis on the nose, quite opulent for the vintage and well defined. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannin cloaked in ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit; underlying all of this is a seam of cold stone that imparts freshness and satisfying tension on the finish. This is well worth seeking out and is performing at a much higher level than the 2006 Beauséjour Duffau-Lagarosse. Tasted February 2016.

This is very exciting with slightly exotic character of dark fruits, citrus and minerals. An almost orange peel undertone. Full body, with silky tannins and a delicious finish. Refined. It’s just starting to come around now.

Raspberry, mineral and berry aromas follow through to a medium-to-full-bodied palate, with good fruit and a light toasty vanilla aftertaste. Subtle and refined. Best from 2012 through 2016. 2,915 cases made.
