Château Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux (Bordeaux, France) 2008

Feb 8, 2012

By Michael Apstein

 Rauzan-Ségla is a great success in 2008.  It combines the silkiness characteristic of the wines from the commune of Margaux with a dark core of mineral-infused fruitiness.  It’s conveys power without being “in-your-face.”  Nuances of tobacco and cedar emerge as the wine sits in the glass.  Long and polished, it will be even better with a decade of cellaring.
