(RAUZAN-SEGLA) Segla Dear Friends, This is an amazing opportunity at this point and it comes about due to one thing - relationships. At barely more than the original futures price, this is a top deal on a wine that is never discounted. Whether it's this wine or the 2005 Malescot-St Exupery as the Wine Spectator Wine of the Year is anyone's guess at this point (with an outside chance by Casa Lapostolle and Guiraud) but what is certainly relevant is the amazing quality of this wine - one of the very best Left Bank examples in 2005. Margaux was the epicenter of the 2005 vintage and this represents a classic, long-lived example of Rausan-Segla that will tantalize with its masculine/feminine dynamic. If you are buying to cellar or as an investment, this wine should bring rich rewards - it has already increased in value by 50-60% since release (trading around $150 in most US circles): Original, unopened cases of this wine should prove to have outstanding investment potential with many years of growth and complexity ahead (in some ways, this reminds me of the 1983 Margaux on release - still one of the worst decisions I've made in the wine trade when I passed on a perfect lot of 50 cases back in 1987 for $700/case!) VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STRICT LIMIT 5 original cases/person (60 bottles) - cases may be broken up into individual bottles - there is no minimum order (you may order as little as one bottle). This parcel is directly from the Chateau with perfect provenance: 2005 Rausan-Segla (Margaux) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Bord8690

Great bouquet of dark berries, blackcurrant, dark berry jam, cedar, mint, undergrowth. Smooth palate, sweet yet firm, with nice acidity and freshness, leading to a long finish of spices, tangy and slightly salty as well as sweet elements. Very balanced. Agree with others that more time will not hurt this wine but great to drink now.

Relatively youthful still on nose with a lovely spiced black fruit character. Very dense and compacted on the palate with a plush, fine structure. While this is enjoyable now, it feels like it has much more to give. Would cellar this for a few more years.
WSET Notes:
Deep ruby.
Pronounced on the nose with blackcurrant, blackberry, mint, graphite, cassis, cedar, clove, vanilla, tobacco and leather. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on the palate. Full body, high tannins, high acidity, medium alcohol, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for ageing.

Double decanted and left for four hours. Well structured with supporting acidity. Yet round and smooth to drink. Very quickly emptied; a good sign. Will develop for another 10-20 years.

Dark and fragrant nose with notes of cedar, blackberries, sweet fruit, spices, and anise. Good acidity on the palate with still present tannins, but they have started to integrate. Flavors of black cherries, berries, cedar, and tobacco. Quite long on the finish. This was really good and starting to become very approachable, but will surely continue to improve with age.
