Château Rauzan-Ségla is a Second Growth wine producer located in the Margaux appellation. The estate is now owned by a subsidiary of the Chanel Group and has benefitted from substantial investment in the last few years. The 1983 vintage suggests aromas of cassis, black raspberries, hints of tobacco ash, fresh herbal accents, earthy undertones, and a subtle touch of smoky wood. On the palate, the wine exhibits depth and complexity, embodying a predominantly dark fruit character. It possesses a substantial core, boasts restrained tannins, and finishes with an impressive length and a firm grip.

Fully mature, this has always been one of the best wines of the vintage. The stunning aromatics soar out of the glass, offering up notes of acacia flower intermixed with black currants, smoke, tobacco, and incense. A luscious texture in a beautifully concentrated but very pure, medium to full-bodied style displays layers of flavor as well as a seamlessness that is endearing if not compelling. The wine is a beauty and is the first vintage to signal the return of Rauzan-Segla to the ranks of quality Bordeaux chateau. Anticipated maturity: Now-2009. Last tasted, 3/02. — Robert Parker, 1st January 2003

- The 1983 Rauzan-Ségla has a dark core with some bricking on the rim. The bouquet is a little rustic, with soy, blackcurrant pastilles and melted tar, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly drying tannins, red fruit mixed with soy, maybe just becoming a little acetic in its dotage, but there is a charm in a bucolic style. Tasted at the château.
