Maturing Margaux commune red blend: second wine of Chanel-owned Chateau Rauzan-Segla quaintly called Segla (well you know where it comes from); a stern and leafy merlot mix which would pass for cabernet anyway; out of a 10/10 year, recently re-rated as superior for the decade of maturing Bordeaux; luscious but drying, minty but leaflike, low oak but cedary, 13%, AUD 150 for magnum; drink now, will never soften any more with the chewy tannins (result of declassification); #drinkfrance #drinkbordeaux #bordeaux #leftbank #médoc #margaux #rauzansegla #merlot #cabernetsauvignon #bordeauxblend #second #2005 #magnum

complex but balanced, structured and deep. Ripe but soft tannin with inky color and red fruit flavor. Densely gorgeous !
