  Otevřené pozdě a dekantace asi jen hodinu.
  Určitě potřebuje víc.
  Je tak moderované až je průměrné. Teprve na konci jsem začal něco vnímat. Velmi velmi harmonické, až tak že není zajímavé. Ničím.

  My first ever Rauzan-Gassies Grand Vin, this is a 2nd growth Bordeaux but surely times have moved on and I would be surprised if it could keep its ranking if there was a reclassification.
  
  85% Cab, 13% Merlot and 2% PV. Circa 25% new oak.
  
  Moderately aromatic nose, quite typical of a Margaux with its dark berries and sweet spices.
  
  More ripe blackfruit on the palate, tannins are still there with M- acidity and I felt it lacked an elegant balance.
  
  Some thinness on the mid palate too, medium length finish with chocolate notes.
  
  I looked it up, and it looks like Rauzan-Gassies is literally 60 metres walk away from Rauzan-Segla in the Margaux appelation.
  
  Date night at Stoked, we enjoyed this with two cuts of steak and quickly finished the entire bottle over our dinner!

  Showing well here with a soft decant. Definitely drinks well the second day as well (undecanted). Medium weight and acidity. Secondary nuances are good but not showing much tertiary.

  Cork absolutely blew up, and I didn’t have a Durand to rescue it. But I did filter the wine well enough to get a couple cork-less glass pours. No taint, and really good after 14 yrs in the bottle. My last bottle, and it’s good for the money.

  An easy afternoon with close friends. (By BV @ PdV): Beautiful and complex bouquet with well dosed oak, sweet spices, dark berries and graphite. On the palate juicy dark berries, a firm amount of good acidity and tannin. Dark chocolate, a touch of sweetness and a good length. Very beautiful wine in its early maturity stage. This wine has improved so much since I tasted it in 2012 and I think there is potential for more. 93+
