I love this wine and it totally stands up today as it has done every time I've tasted it recently - it's pretty much the most drinkable vintage in this lineup. It's so balanced and deliciously elegant yet fleshy still youthful and full of black pepper and saffron spices. The juicy elegant fruits are full of flavour and are very much in the signature of Rauzan Ségla. The smoky edge just gets better and better in the glass and gives it that gulpable sapidity. Harvested 28 September to 11 October giving a yield of 46hl/ha. 50% new oak. 04/19

Deep garnet-brick colored the 2001 Rauzan-Ségla rolls out of the glass with open expressive mature notes of potpourri star anise incense and cigar box with a pretty core of kirsch redcurrant jelly and dried figs. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers mature spice and dried berry layers with a light grip of chewy tannins and bags of freshness finishing with a peppery kick. The blend this year is 63% Cabernet Sauvignon 34% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc harvested between September 28 and October 11 at an average yield of 46 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak 50% new. The alcohol is 12.5%. Published: Apr 09 2020
