Monday, January 22, 2018 - The ‘15 Rauzan-Segla, to me, was the wine of the tasting. The nose was dark, animal, mineral, and intense, as crushed blackberry and raspberry tones gave way to infectious spice, minerals and dark earth. On the palate, I found rich, silky textures offset by a balanced acid and tannin mix, as dark fruits and inner florals tones saturated the senses. The finish was long with lasting minerality and fine tannin. The first thing I did following the tasting was to check where I could buy some for my own cellar.

My notes from the DC version aren't quite as descriptive but good to know some others agree with my general reactions to some of the wines as well. My faves were Rauzan, Baron, and Canon with a couple others just a bit behind. However this is the one wine I keep thinking back to and wondering if it was even better than I remembered. The best ones kind of draw you in like that for whatever reason.
