2016 is a highly acclaimed vintage in Bordeaux and Château Rauzan-Ségla produced a showstopping wine that will almost certainly rank amongst the finest ever releases from this acclaimed Margaux estate. A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, it is powerful and voluminous, with incredibly concentrated notes of cassis, black cherry, tobacco, spring flowers and graphite. Though it has plenty of youthful appeal this will be even better with a few more years of bottle age and will continue to evolve over the next 20-30 years.
