1980 Bordeaux – Château Larcis Ducasse (Saint-Émilion)

A fully mature Right Bank claret showing classical, savoury finesse over fruit weight. Garnet core with a broad tawny rim. The nose is gentle and tertiary: dried redcurrant and plum, cedar and pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, bay, leather and a touch of sous-bois. Mid-weight, silky palate—lively acidity carries redcurrant, dried cherry and earthy spice; tannins are fine and resolved. Finish is tapering and elegant with cedar, leaf tobacco and a hint of dried rose.

Producer note: Historic limestone-coteau estate on Saint-Émilion’s south-facing slope; traditional élevage emphasises mineral lift and aromatic polish rather than brawn.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken or duck, lamb with rosemary, mushroom fricassée, aged Comté.
