Rauzan Segla 2012 presents a complex bouquet of aromas, featuring dark fruits such as blackcurrants and plums, alongside earthy notes and a hint of cedar. The palate is structured with firm tannins that provide a solid backbone. Flavors of blackberry and dark chocolate emerge, underscored by a subtle herbal quality. The wine`s acidity balances its richness, promising good aging potential.

This Bordeaux blend is primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, typical of Margaux wines. Rauzan Segla has a long history, dating back to the 17th century, and was classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. The meticulous winemaking process includes controlled fermentation and aging in oak barrels, allowing it to develop its complexity over time. The 2012 vintage reflects a warm year in Bordeaux, contributing to its ripeness and depth.

A blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2012 Rauzan-Segla has a deep garnet color, with a touch of brick. It opens with maturing scents of fruitcake, new leather, iron ore, and unsmoked cigars, opening out to a core of prunes and anise, with a touch of oolong tea. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and lightly chewy, with delicate tertiary flavors and minerally accents, finishing on a lingering, fragrant earth note.Lisa Perrotti-Brown21st March 2024

The 2012 Rauzan-Ségla just comes across a little flat on the nose compared to the previous two wines. Mint-infused red fruit, allspice and a touch of liquorice, though a second bottle at the Bordeaux Index horizontal showed more chutzpah. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine depth, a toothsome Margaux with a dense, more muscular finish that should see it repaid with further cellaring. Tasted twice at Bordeaux Index's Ten Year-On tasting and blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting. Neal Martin27th September 2022
