Château-Rauzan-Gassies Margaux 2010

One of the strongest efforts from Rauzan-Gassies in many years, the 2010 may turn out to be a sleeper of the vintage. It reveals an opaque purple color along with notes of incense, licorice, black currants and blackberries, impressive concentration, soft tannins and good acidity. This is a solidly made, full throttle Margaux to cellar for 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 25 years.

91-93 The wine is tight, densely textured, very firm in character. It has considerable weight to go with the sweet fruit, very powerful.
