Plums, cherries, chocolate, and flowers emerge with no effort. Silky, fresh, soft, and polished, this is what Margaux elegance is all about. There is length, vibrance, and purity in the fruits that linger in the long, refined, polished finish. As I wrote in my barrel tasting notes, clearly, this is a big step up from previous vintages. You must go back to 1928 to taste a wine from Rauzan Gassies this good. Drink from 2024-2050.

(73% Cabernet, 27% Merlot 13.7% Alkohol) Feiner Duft, Tee, Kräuter, Rauch. Im Gaumen karg, schlank, merklich Gerbstoff, die Frucht hält sich dezent im Hintergrund. Mittlerer Abgang. Etwas rustikal. 2026-2040 (Verkostet am 8. November 2022 in Zürich) www.vvwine.ch

89-90 vvPunkte (73% Cabernet, 27% Merlot 13.7% Alkohol) Diskrete Nase, würzig, zeigt etwas Schwarztee, dunkle Blüten, Brombeeren, Rauch. Der Gaumen ist gradlinig, gut strukturiert, die Frucht ist auf den Punkt gereift, wird von einer guten Struktur getragen, die Gerbstoffe markieren, sind etwas flockig. Solider Abgang. Ein guter, ein Tick rustikaler Wein. 2026-2040 (April/Mai 2021)

With a beautiful, deep hue, the wine pops with its floral, dark pit fruit, espresso, smoke, licorice and spice perfume. On the palate the wine is rich, full and with a solid depth of flavor, finishing with layers of concentrated, silky, lusciously textured black, red and blue fruits. Clearly, this is a big step up from pervious vintages. From what I've tasted, you have to go back to 1928 to taste a wine from Rauzan Gassies this good. 91-93

UGCB tasting Bordeaux 2020 Walkaround tasting so in general just short notes (Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.): Beautiful bouquet with dark berries and well dosed oak. On the palate the same impressions, good acidity and sticky tannin. Full bodied and a good length. 91 - 92+
