01: Dunkles Purpur mit violetten Reflexen. Nobles, ausladendes Maulbeerenbouquet, herrliche Pflaumennote darin, Teer, Palisander und schwarze Schokolade. Im Gaumen viel Stoff, Brombeeren, die Konzentration macht das Extrakt sanft aufrauhend, ausgeglichene, intensive Adstringenz, ein massiver Rauzan-Ségla, der aber etwas noblere Tannine aufweisen könnte, was jedoch sicher durch den Barriquenausbau ausgeglichen werden kann. (18/20). 12: Als 2000ER EIGENTLICH ZU WENIG Druck - aber als Rauzan-Ségla genügend Finessen. Es ist eine wahre Freude, diesen Wein jetzt schon zu trinken.

While the bottled 2000 still reveals a certain sternness in addition to tough tannin, it is sweeter and more expansive and flavorful. The dark ruby/purple color is saturated and impressive. With coaxing, notes of lead pencil shavings, black currants, earth, cedar, and spice box emerge from a relatively closed, firm, medium to full-bodied wine or, as the French would say, a classic vin de garde (for long-term cellaring). Although austere, it is a classic, authoritatively flavored effort that requires patience. I would like to see sweeter tannin and more flesh built into the mid-palate, but there is no denying the classicism and purity of this 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.

This is a bit grainy in feel, with ample cedar- and juniper-lined tannins carrying a mix of red and black currant, bay leaf and black tea flavors along before a tangy sanguine note captures the finish. Has character and charm, if a bit outpaced by the pack in general.—2000 Bordeaux blind retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2018. 8,333 cases made.
Producer
Château Rauzan-Ségla
In 1661, Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan acquired an estate which he named after himself. Over the next two centuries, his successors succeeded remarkably well in enhancing the reputation of Château Rauzan-Ségla, which was one of the favourite wines of Thomas Jefferson. Acquired by Chanel in 1994, this second growth has made major investments in order to be fully worthy of its reputation and rank. Château Rauzan-Ségla currently has sixty-six hectares of vines. These are respectfully tended: sustainable methods are used, the soil is ploughed, the vineyard is managed plot-by-plot, the grapes are hand-picked into small crates, and then sorted twice before fermentation. These are just a few of the steps taken to ensure outstanding quality. Rauzan-Ségla has a generous bouquet with a great deal of finesse. It epitomises the internationally recognized and much appreciated qualities of the finest wines of Margaux.
