  James Suckling
  "The aromas to this are phenomenal with oyster shell, blackberries, iodine and black truffles. Full-bodied, layered and so refined and intense. Love the texture and intensity. Chalky. Amazing. Goes on for minutes. Try in 2023."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Smoke, tobacco, crushed stone, dark red fruits and wet earth are all over the place. The wine is full bodied, intense, concentrated and richly textured. There is a beautiful sensation of minerality and ripe fruits at work here. But at least 10 years are needed for this to get where it needs to be."

  "A more elegant, finesse-driven style of cuvee than normal, the 2015 Château Larcis-Ducasse is comprised of close to 90% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc. It reveals a terrific bouquet of cassis, spring flowers, cedary spice and forest floor, with more graphite and lead pencil nuances developing as it sat in the glass. With full-bodied richness, a tight, backward, yet promising style on the palate, beautiful tannin quality, and a great finish, it’s an undeniably classy, balanced 2015 that will reward 2-4 years of bottle age."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Larcis Ducasse opens with opulent scents of blueberry pie, baked plums and spice cake with nuances of unsmoked cigars, dusty soil, licorice and a touch of salami. Big, rich, full-bodied and incredibly impactful on the palate, it proudly struts its bold black and blue fruits with a plush, velvet-textured cape, finishing long and spicy."

  Decanter
  "This is absolute proof that I can love a rich, bristling St-Émilion when it is in balance. An excellently located Nicolas Thienpont-run estate, it clearly shows the potential of a property that has not always got it right. It has lots of power, coiled and ready to spring, but there is an austerity and salinity that pays you back for the punch. Very good, will age superbly."

  Wine Spectator
  " This nearly gushes with succulent plum, blackberry and black currant preserve flavors, but they stay on the racy and refined side overall, flecked with anise, Lapsang souchong tea and violet notes. A lovely chalky spine controls the finish with a deft hand. Best from 2020 through 2035. 2,375 cases made."

  Falstaff
  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, einladende reife Kirschen, zart floral, dunkle Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von Gewürzen, schokoladig unterlegt. Saftig, frisch strukturiert, rotbeerige Nuancen, präsente, tragende Tannine, mineralisch im Abgang, ein eleganter Speisenbegleiter, braucht seine Zeit."

  Weinwisser
  "Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Tolles Fruchtbouquet, reife Beeren und Piemontkirschen, welche durch eine bindende Kaffeenote ergänzt werden. Konzentrierter Gaumen, noch fein sandiges Extrakt, hat aber Kraft und Potenzial. Er wird tendenziell eher ein männlich anmutender Klassiker."
