2022 Rauzan Segla
An accomplished wine that has been steered skilfully through ageing, and delivers the exceptional quality that it showed En Primeur. Cocoa bean, espresso, tar, ink, campfire, finesse, powerful but understated tannic architecture, cassis fruits laced with black tea, incense, graphite and peony. 50% new barrels, Nicolas Audebert director
97/100 Jane Anson
(Margaux; 72% Cabernet Sauvignon; 26% Merlot; 2% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 30 hl/ha; 14.5% alcohol). Like Brane, tasted just before it in the series, this is a little reluctant at first to reveal itself – but that tends to be a good thing. It is here. Opulent, gracious and voluptuous in equal measure, this has a fabulously well-integrated and complete nose. It’s a little more classic and austere than Brane and even darker fruited – with more berry than stone fruit too. There is cedar, graphite, pencil shaving, dark berry and, yes, just a little stone fruit and the finest grated dark chocolate. Incredibly velvety and ample, with impressive layering and pixilated detail. When the tannins grip this carves out, as it builds, a second wave more charged with juicy freshness. Very impressive and confirming every positive expectation one could have for it.
