"Deep garnet in color, the 2012 Rauzan-Ségla reveals evolving notions of new leather, cigar box and stewed tea over a core of blackcurrant cordial, plum preserves and blueberry compote with touches of cumin seed and fenugreek. Medium-bodied, the palate has a lot of spritely zip with red fruit accents lifting the mature savory and spice notes, framed by grainy tannins, finishing with great tension."

"Intense bouquet of small, flavoursome red fruit and a precise – quite tight – palate that will benefit from further ageing. Perhaps a little austere, but true; reflects the quality of the terroir."
