"Tight and muscular with a solid core of fruit and racy tannins. Full-bodied with chewy tannins yet silky and refined. This is very very toned and serious. A wine for long-term aging."

I loved the 2000 Rauzan-Ségla another mature yet balanced wine that shows the hallmark complexity and elegance of the estate. Beautiful currants strawberries lead pencil and spice notes give way to a medium to full-bodied wine that has a layered texture resolved tannins and good mid-palate depth. I love its complexity its seamless texture and its great finish. This is a beautiful 2000 that?s drinking at point today yet will easily keep for another two decades.

The 2000 Rauzan-Ségla was the only vintage that I procured myself out in the market because of many fond memories. I am so glad I did fill in the gap because I feel it is a rather overlooked gem. It has a gorgeous bouquet a little backward at first but then opening with black cherries blueberry jam and hints of Provençal herbs though none of the saddle leather I noticed back in 2010. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins nigh perfect acidity and a rich quite grippy finish. The estate prefers the 2001 but I find this possesses more ambition. Tasted at Lorne restaurant in London. - By Neal Martin on March 2019

This was a warmer vintage than 2001 with more tannins and alcohol present. It's a little foursquare at first and still a little less seductive than the 2001 but it will go the distance for sure. Notes of woodsmoke cigar box leather hickory and exotic spices appear on the palate with real width depth and density throughout. A very good wine. Harvest ran from 22 September to 6 October giving a 37hl/ha yield. - Jane Anson 04/19

This is just starting to open up on the nose with tobacco plums and currants throughout. Full-bodied with lots of tobacco and chocolate that turns to notes of coffee and fruit on the finish. The palate is just starting to come around. Why should you wait on this? The winemaker says that it will be better after 2012. Rich and slightly austere still at the finish.
The Wine Independent: 93 Points
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.
