I continue to just love the 2009 Château Rauzan-Ségla. It's such a classic Margaux, remarkable for its elegance and purity yet still showing classic 2009 depth, richness, and sexiness. Giving up loads of crème de cassis, green tobacco, cedar pencil, chocolate, and hints of incense, it's flawlessly balanced and has sweet tannin, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's drinking at point today yet has another two decades of longevity ahead of it. It's a beautiful wine.

Deep, spicy and earthy, but with plenty of Cabernet Sauvignon cassis aroma and solid tannins giving it a serious structure. It's not the most polished Médoc of the vintage, but there's plenty of concentration and energy driving the long firm finish.

A rich and opulent wine, very ripe, packed with luscious blackberry and damson fruit as well as sweet tannins. It is a fruit salad of fruit flavors given structure by a core of dryness. Already a gorgeous wine, but one that will also age. *Cellar Selection* (RV)
