Score 75/100 · Drink 2006, Robert Parker, Apr 1999
The shallow, medium ruby-colored 1996 reveals earthy overtones, little depth, an attenuated, compressed personality, and an herbaceous finish. It will not improve. Anticipated maturity: now-2006.

About the producer

Rauzan Gassies
The Quié family purchased Pauillac Fifth Growth Ch. Croizet-Bages in 1942, adding Rauzan-Gassies four years later. Once part of the same estate as the neighbouring Rauzan-Ségla, this Margaux property was split off in time for the 1855 Classification, earning Second Growth status.
