Lightweight nose. Loose. Slack. What does this property think it’s doing? (To be fair, socks have been pulled up a bit here since 2000.) Yields were obviously far too high. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Drink 2008-2022, Robert Parker, Apr 2003

The finest wine I have tasted from this estate in over four decades, this dense purple-colored 2000 offers up a sweet perfume of black cherry liqueur intermixed with cassis, graphite, licorice, and incense. Full-bodied and concentrated, with high tannin and loads of extract, this is a serious, broodingly backward, high class offering for patient connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2022.

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.
