Château Rauzan-Ségla Margaux Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

James Forsyth

Some game, bacon fat, white pepper. Sustains well. Should be drunk soon.

Eric Egan

If I could drink this every day for the rest of my life I'd be delighted! Textbook Margaux with blackberries, blackcurrents, Montecristo No. 1, hot leather, and hints of tarmacadam and a freshly seasoned humidor. Deep whale-blood hue with a hair-fine halo of quicksilver around the edge. Balanced but still with prickly tannins and evident acidity. Divine!

The 2004 with terrific aromas, round fruit and balanced structure. Great finish.

Rich, earthy and suave blackberry, black cherry with a touch of graphite, quite tight but unfurls with some air. In the mouth this has plenty of dry but fresh black fruits, acidity & tannin nicely lined up, dry, maybe a touch underripe on the fruit but a decent finish.

Still holds the title for best nose in the world! 1hr+ decant. Floral nose that’s insane. Could small the empty bottle all day long. Wine is classic Bordeaux with flowers, earth, and cedar dominating. Wine starts out deep and chewy but fades quickly. Still a favorite! Drink up!

This was awesome!! 1hr+ decant. Purple, dark red in color. I don’t think there is a better smelling wine! Extremely floral nose with earth elements. Wine is dominated by flowers, cedar, cow shit, and dark cherries. Medium depth with a super long finish. Continues to be one of my favorites!!!

Paul Jakubowski

1hr+ decant. Nice red and purple color. One of the best noses in the world - roses, bouquet of flowers, subtle cow shit, very earthy etc. Wine is a bit rough on the palate and a tad thin. Fades pretty quick so I probably won’t decant my next few bottles. Started out awesome ended so so.

17/20 (92/100) Приятный аромат спелых ягод черники и чёрной смородины, специй, шоколада, графита; проявляется третичка (кожа). Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и бархатистыми танинами. Добротно сделанное, абсолютно готовое бордо.
