Chateau Rauzan-Segla - Margaux 2017

RM550.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
The 2017 Rauzan-Segla was bottled at the end of May 2019 according to winemaker Nicolas Audebert. It has a broodier nose than expected, perhaps a tad closed after bottling, but there is certainly sufficient blackberry and raspberry fruit, subtle pressed violet, soupcon of shucked oyster shell scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins struck through by a fine bead of acidity. It feels rounded and velvety in texture, quite persistent in the mouth with a caressing finish that perhaps does not quite deliver the complexity or pixelation of a really top growing season. Otherwise, plainly speaking, bloody delicious. Robert Parker: 96Pts; Wine Enthusiast: 94-96Pts; James Suckling: 94-95Pts; Vinous: 94Pts; Wine Spectator: 91-94Pts; Decanter: 93Pts
