Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 21 Mar 24
A blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2000 Rauzan-Segla is medium to deep garnet-brick in color. It erupts with powerful, mature scents of preserved plums, cigar box, cumin, leather, and fertile loam, giving way to a fragrant undercurrent of anise and dried flowers. The medium-bodied palate is packed with evolved, tertiary flavors, supported by lightly chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and minerally. Classic, great, mature claret.

The 2000 Rauzan-Ségla is deep in color. The bouquet is similar to the bottle poured a couple of years ago, featuring blueberry and Provençal herbs, the secondary and primary scents commingling to wonderful effect. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and tarry black fruit, and quite structured and fresh, leading to a grippy, saline finish. A redoubtable, almost swarthy Margaux that should drink well for another 20 years or more. Superb.

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 08 Mar 23
Tawny rose in colour, with dried roses, mushroom and soy on the aromatics, this is definitely open and heading to fully tertiary, focusing squarely on charcoal, spice and undergrowth rather than plump fruits at this stage, with a touch of earthy brett. You can find more muscular 2000s, but this is succulent, welcoming and very much ready to drink, with layers of smoky oak. 60% new oak barrels, 37hl/h yield. Harvest September 25 to October 6.
