ABOUT THIS WINE
"Forty-seven percent of the crop made it into the savory, complex, fully mature 2003 Rauzan Segla. Notes of coffee bean, white chocolate, forest floor, red and black currants and tobacco leaf are present in this dark plum/garnet-colored 2003. The final blend was 53.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and the rest tiny dollops of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. There is a slight herbal tinge to the wine, but it is fresh, complex aromatically, and exhibits the vintage's opulence. Enjoy it over the next 5-8 years" Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate.
Tasting Note
Now hitting its stride, this magnificent 2015 Rauzan-Ségla combines ripe cassis, raspberry and dark cherry with the violets, rose petals and fine graphite notes so characteristic of great Margaux. Rich and beautifully concentrated, yet wonderfully fresh and elegant, its once-powerful tannins have softened into a fine, polished texture. A superb mature claret to enjoy now, with the structure and pedigree to develop for many years yet.
