Rauzan Segla, Margaux

Wine currently held in Bordeaux, estimated arrival in the US mid 2013. Only available in 12 bottle original wooden cases. Serena Sutcliffe, MW: quot;Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Merlot 37% Cabernet Franc 2%, Petit Verdot 1%. The Grand Vin was 45% of total production. 12% press wine added. 60% new oak. 15 points more on the tannin index than in 2005 but the wine is so velvety that these tannins are totally masked. Blissfully blackberry. Lovely freshness.quot; 04/11 Jamie Ritchie: quot;Lovely rich concentration of fruit - redcurrants and blackcurrants, with some tar and roses. Very classy, with lots of finesse. Good length, great structure and balance. Aristocratic. Top class Margaux with definition and style - one of the best Rausan Segla’s I have tasted - excellent.quot; 04/11
