| Description: | 96 Wa / 95 Wi / 95 Wci / 92 Vm. A great effort from Rauzan-Segla and one of the finest wines made at the estate in many a decade, this youthful, exhilarating effort still reveals a dense ruby/purple color with no signs of lightening. Tasting more like a 5 to 8-year-old wine than one that is already 16 years of age, this wine reluctantly offers up a nose of liquid minerals intermixed with tobacco, smoke, black currants, melted licorice, and hints of blueberry and compost. Very full-bodied but still exceptionally tannic in an intense, concentrated, very delineated style, this wine remains an infant in terms of its development. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2040. - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate. Medium brick colored, the 1986 Rauzan Segla waltzes out with perfumed notes of roses, dried cherries, lavender, and fallen leaves, giving way to a core of powdered cinnamon and fruit cake. The light-bodied palate is wonderfully silky and energetic, with great freshness and a fragrant finish.- Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent With 3 hours of air, the tannins softened and scents of cassis, flowers, tobacco and truffle bloomed. Classic, in the good sense, with depth, complexity, length and character, there is a lot to like about the wine. Interestingly, it combines power, masculine character and softness as part of its charms. Drink now, with a few hours of decanting, or wait another 5 to 10 years to see what happens.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider |
