Chateau Rauzan-Ségla 2014 is very elegant Margaux with a good aromatic freshness. It gives off fleshy black fruit fragrances with hints of red rose petals, followed by a note of rare wood. The palate is scrumptious (strong fruit) on carefully extracted tannins with fine grain; the whole is blended and creamy. This wine is strong and already accessible even though the ageing process is not over yet.
The 2014 Rauzan-Segla has a very pure, mineral-driven bouquet that could almost be from the Côte de Nuits! This is as refined as you will discover in Margaux. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, caressing and smooth in texture with well-judged acidity and fanning out with crushed strawberry, Morello and a touch of orange rind on the finish. It is not patch on the 2015 for sure, but it is a worthy forerunner.
