2010 Rauzan Segla

Tasting notes
A very reserved soapy, Margaux nose with just a whiff of weedy black fruit. Super-concentrated and a HUGE mouthfull of wonderful creamy, sappy dark fruit. Very structured and hugely impressive.

Ripe blackcurrants, scorched earth, chocolate, and leafy tobacco are just some of the nuances in the 2010 Château Rauzan Ségla. This rich, powerful, and incredibly concentrated Margaux has a stacked mid-palate, ripe, velvety tannins, and a blockbuster finish. It's entering its prime drinking window and will continue to impress for another 30 years. Drink 2025-2053.
This is classy, reserved, unrolls slowly but surely through the palate, with cassis bud, rosemary, espresso and slate. One of the more closed wines in the lineup, this could do with a few more years. John Kolasa director, 50% new oak for ageing, 37hl/h yield.
Inky depths of colour and fruit on the nose, a wine to pause over and then dive into. What a brilliant example of the vintage that is just revving up to showcase slate, liqourice, crayon, cassis, grilled earth. Supremely Left Bank, supremely impressive. 60% new oak, 37hl/h yield, harvest September 23 to October 19. John Kolasa director.
