Wine Name: Chateau Rauzan-Segla
Vineyard:
Designation:
Appellation: Margaux
Producer: Chateau Rauzan-Segla
Varietal: Red Bordeaux Blend
Type: Red
Country: France
Region: Bordeaux
Sub-Region: Medoc
Tasting note: Good full red-ruby. Inviting, expressive
aromas of plum, redcurrant, mocha, coffee, game, flowers and nutty oak.
Sweet, fat and stuffed with fruit; quite silky in texture but a bit less
refined than the 2006 in spite of its greater richness. Fairly full
wine, finishing with lovely lingering perfume as well as slightly edgy
tannins that will require a decade of cellaring. (92pts. Stephen Tanzer)
Tasted: May/Jun. 2008
Score: 92
Drink: N/A
Tasting note: One of the most beautiful Rauzan-Seglas made in decades, this blend of
55% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot and tiny dollops of
Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot exhibits a gorgeous perfume of spring
flowers, subtle mint, black cherries, black currants, licorice, and a
hint of new oak. It offers medium to full body, sweet tannins, and a
layered mouthfeel that builds incrementally to a sensational finish. (94+pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: Apr. 2008
Score: 94+
Drink: 2017-30
Tasting note: Very beautiful aromas of crushed berry, flowers, currant and Indian
spices follow through to a full body, with ultrafine tannins and a long,
long finish. Extremely polished and beautiful, with a seamless texture. (97pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Mar. 31, 2008
Score: 97
Drink: After 2014
Tasting note: The richest, the most flavorful and the most refined of the estate’s wines. Impossible to spit it out. (94pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)
