Château Rauzan-Ségla
Margaux Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend
A forgotten property for much, this 86 was stunning. Generous, voluptuous, the bottle was in perfect condition. It has all the power, throttle I would expect for a 86, one of my fav vintage of the 80's, along with 85 and 89. Bottom line: a wine that delivers, in perfect shape now. This Rauzan is a perfect buy.

(As much as the earthquake-ravaged labels evoke memories we'd rather forget, they do add a certain charm to these older bottles!)

Feb 26th, 2015In incredibly good shape. Still a burst a grippy tannin after the mostly evolved fruit.

Dec 23rd, 2021Brilliant night . This ‘86 Margaux is in a perfect drinking window. Probably good another 35 years. Still bold, generous, and nuance of dark berry, chocolate, and even Far East spice. Lovely treat to enjoy with my son.
