Wine Description
One of the most beautiful Rauzan-Ségla made in decades, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primary Merlot and tiny dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot exhibits a gorgeous perfume of spring flowers, subtle mint, black cherries, black currants, licorice, and a hint of new oak. It offers medium to full body, sweet tannins, and a layered mouthfeel that builds incrementally to a sensational finish.
Good balance overall. Lots of jam flavor now but it will only get better with time.
