Chateau Rauzan Segla 2016 Margaux

The 2016 Rauzan-Ségla is simply stunning. Ample and generous in the glass. the 2016 is a positively stellar wine that will leave readers weak at the knees. The flavors and textures are generous as this sublime Margaux shows off its alluring personality. Sweet red cherry. plum. pomegranate. blood orange. spice and rose petal are some of the many notes that run through this absolutely exquisite wine. The 2016 is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. maybe even more! Tasted three times.

The 2016 Rauzan-Ségla is blended of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot aged in 60% new and 40% one-year-old barrels for 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored. it sings of lifted red and black cherries. black raspberries and cassis with a rose hip tea and lilacs undercurrent plus sparks of tobacco. pencil shavings and tilled earth. The palate is medium-bodied. elegant and mineral laced with firm. fine-grained tannins and beautiful freshness. finishing with great length and depth.

The 2016 Rauzan-Ségla has an intense bouquet. one of the most perfumed that I encountered during my round of tastings. Violets infuse the ebullient black fruit. and traces of pencil lead emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied. very pure and supple. displaying wonderful balance and a satiny texture that belongs in a lingerie shop. This is an utterly seductive Margaux. one of the finest in recent years as this estate continues its upsurge in quality. Few 2016s will dole out such inhibited pleasure.

The aromas of blackcurrants. sweet tobacco and sandalwood are tantalizing. Then it turns to subtle. dried fruit. Full-bodied with dense and powerful tannins. yet ending with finesse and vertical nature. Very deep. Power with finesse. Try after 2025.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Rauzan Segla 2016 im April 2017:
The 2016 Rauzan-Segla (Rausan-Segla) is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot picked between 20 September and 15 October at 45 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is being aged in 60% new oak for 18 months. It has 13.2% alcohol. It has a very powerful and intense bouquet with layers of blackberry. kirsch. cedar and a touch of mint. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of fruit concentration: layers of ripe blackberry and boysenberry. segueing into what feels like a very spicy and peppery second half that seems to calm down and attain more nuance with aeration in the glass. It is a wonderful follow-up to the 2015 last year. although not quite with the same audacity and bravado. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

A solid red with currant and blackberry character. Full body. soft tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows richness and excitement. Juicy and sexy undertone to this.

This has nice vivacity. featuring plum and cassis notes laced with bay. pepper. tobacco and iron accents. Stays fresh and racy through the finish. On the right track. With some added weight. this could move up. —J.M.
