Wine Advocate: 90 Points
This dense ruby/purple-colored 2011 exhibits a stunning bouquet of black fruits, spring flowers and confiture of cherries, raspberries, spice and earth. Complete from beginning to end, this medium-bodied 2011 does not possesses as much power as the 2005, 2009 or 2010, but it is a highly successful effort for the vintage. Moreover, it can be drunk early on as it is a delicious, complex St.-Emilion that should last 10-15 years.
Vinous: 88 Points
The 2011 Larcis-Ducasse is another Saint-Émilion slightly volatile bouquet, soy-infused red fruit, a splash of the old Worcester sauce. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine acidity, quite spicy and peppery though the finish feels a little astringent. Not bad, though it will not improve with bottle age.
