A wine that could easily be mistaken for a First Growth the 2010 Rauzan-Ségla is an incredibly powerful full-bodied wine by this estate?s standards yet it nevertheless holds onto a terrific sense of elegance as well as perfect balance. A huge nose of blackcurrants smoked earth tobacco lead pencil and spice give way to a concentrated blockbuster styled Margaux that has thrilling depth of fruit masses of ripe tannins and great length and finesse on the finish. This brilliant wine is just now seemingly on the edge of its drink window and offers immense pleasure yet it has another 30-40 years of life ahead of it. Along with the 2015 and 2016 it?s the greatest wine made at this estate in the past two decades. (Drink between 2019-2059)

Beautiful clarity of fruit with raspberries and currants on the nose. Roses and other flowers too. It's almost hard to describe but there's a real purity. Full body with fabulous balance and depth. It has everything in the right place. Best ever? Try it in 201

Deep garnet in color the 2010 Rauzan-Ségla is youthfully reticent and closed to begin slowly unfurling to offer notions of underbrush black truffles smoked meats and tar over a core of baked black cherries prunes and crème de cassis plus touches of iron ore and crushed rocks. Full-bodied concentrated and jam-packed with savory/earthy fruit it has a rock-solid structure of firm grainy tannins and oodles of freshness finishing with great length and expression. The blend this year is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 37% Merlot 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot harvested between September 23rd and October 19th at an average yield of 37 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak 60% new. The alcohol is 14% and the pH is 3.52.

The 2010 Rauzan-Ségla is simply one of the finest releases in recent years. It has a heavenly bouquet with wild strawberry
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Flashy style of Margaux with alluring warm cocoa and black tea aromatics followed by cashmere-textured plum sauce steeped fig and blackberry confiture notes. The well-integrated structure makes this seem almost accessible now but the ample length and a smoldering tobacco note make a case for cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2030
