Beautiful clarity of fruit with raspberries and currants on the nose. Roses and other flowers too. It's almost hard to describe, but there's a real purity. Full body, with fabulous balance and depth. It has everything in the right place.
(Neal Martin's Wine Journal) Gorgeous blackberry, cassis, violet, dark plum... beautifully defined... Svelte tannins, pitch perfect acidity, caressing texture, a magnificent Margaux, certainly one of the greatest Rauzan Segla’s to date...
One of the top Margaux wines, this is in top form, finely balanced and as elegant as it is powerful. It is darkly structured, dense yet balancing tannins with ripe black plums. It expresses the complexity of the vintage.
...like a super-duper version of the 1986. Displaying fabulous density, an inky purple color and a superb nose of forest floor with a hint of menthol as well as loads of creme de cassis, mocha and touches of chocolate and subtle oak...
Flashy style... alluring warm cocoa & black tea... cashmere-textured plum sauce, steeped fig & blackberry confiture notes... well-integrated structure... ample length and a smoldering tobacco note...
Boysenberry, bitter chocolate, menthol and sweet oak on the nose. Spicy, fat and layered, with compelling sweetness to the concentrated flavors of boysenberry, cherry and dark chocolate. Finishes spicy, broad and very long...
Very sweet, purple-fruited notes on the nose. Sweet and simple and open with some minerality. Dry finish. There is lots to love here! Cool finish
A suave marriage of power and elegance...a sumptuous, deep purple...a nose of fresh red fruit...in the mouth rich, dense and harmonious.
