Note di degustazione
The 1989 Larcis Ducasse has a rather fungal, confected bouquet that suggests some overripe fruit in the vat. It just lacks vigour and seems monotone. The palate is medium-bodied, rustic and confected with dry tannins, very mealy in texture with a green, fungal finish. Sub-par. Bottles should be drunk by now. Tasted at the Larcis Ducasse vertical in Bordeaux.

The 1989 Larcis Ducasse is burly and rough around the edges, but it has aged evenly, as all of its elements are relatively well balanced. Dried cherry, tobacco, crushed flowers and earthy notes are the signatures of a wine that has reached its full maturity.
The 1989, while filled with tannin and structured for aging up to 30 years, did not seem to have quite the inner core of fruit, depth, and intensity that the 1988 possessed. Full and tannic, it will not be at its best until midway through the first decade of the next century. This is an imposingly backward style of wine that may ultimately merit a higher score--provided the fruit does not dry out before the tannin fades. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 4/91.
