  • 2016 is widely seen as one of Bordeaux’s great modern vintages, and Rauzan-Ségla produced a wine of both depth and finesse. The nose is complex, offering layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, violet and graphite, supported by cedar, cigar box and subtle spice from new French oak. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet refined, with incredible precision: ripe fruit at the core, framed by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, mineral and poised, suggesting 20–30 years of cellar life. Already captivating but will reward the patient.

  • "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Rauzan-Ségla drifts effortlessly from the glass with fragrant rose hip tea, candied violets and chocolate box scents over a core of fresh blackcurrants and black cherry compote plus wafts of tobacco and dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers a great mid-palate of softly textured black and blue fruits with loads of floral nuances and a refreshing lift on the finish.

    The blend this year is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, harvested between September 20th and October 15th at an average yield of 45 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 60% new. The alcohol is 13.5%, and the pH is 3.6." 97 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robertparker.com
