Ch Rauzan-Segla, Margaux 2009

A classic Margaux, this blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot reveals a dense plum/blue/purple colour in addition to a sumptuous perfume of subtle new oak interwoven with underbrush, black currants, black raspberries, spring flowers, and a hint of dusty, loamy soil.

Medium- to full-bodied with sweet but abundant tannin, and beautiful purity, texture and equilibrium, the 2009 Rauzan-Ségla will provide enjoyable drinking over the next three decades. About the only thing controversial about the 2009 Rauzan-Ségla will be the label designed by Chanel's artistic director, Karl Lagerfeld, for the estate's 350th anniversary. 93+ Points, Neil Martin - Wine Advocate
