Château Rauzan Ségla - Margaux 1998 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48

After a mild and rainy winter, bud burst was observed at the end of March. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Spring was quite humid but the good climatic conditions of May and June gave rapid and homogeneous flowering. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 The month of July is hot but not very sunny and the harvest promises to be generous. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 The month of August, meanwhile, is scorching and leads to a great concentration of tannins. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Finally, the month of September was very humid in the first fortnight, then the good weather returned after the 15th and accelerated the ripening of the grapes. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Alcoholic fermentation: Two pumping over per day during fermentation. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 The Merlot vats are kept at 30° for 8 days during maceration. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Maceration: 6 to 10 days (longer for Cabernet) Vatting: Merlot: 18 to 22 days. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Cabernet Sauvignon: 20 to 26 days Malolactic fermentation: Running off at 25° for the malolactic fermentations, which took place without any difficulty. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 10% malolactic fermentation in new barrels for the great wine. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Ageing: 75% new barrels - Descent into barrels at the end of November. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48

The 1998 Rauzan-Ségla is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon and 41% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-brick colored, it has a lovely nose of baked plums, dried cranberries, mulberries and licorice with nuances of leather, baking spices and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate still maintains a surprising amount of fruit with fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with great length. While this is not a particularly complex Rauzan-Ségla, it is an outstanding example. It's unlikely to improve much, yet it is maturing slowly and should offer collectors a lot of joy over the next 15 years+. Drink 2020-2035.

The 1998 Rauzan-Ségla has slightly weedy in character, but also offers plenty of cedary spice, impressive sweetness of fruit, medium body, and a charming, balanced texture on the palate. Made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, it’s a regal, rounded, fully mature old girl that has plenty of character. It’s not getting any better, yet I don’t see it falling off a cliff any time soon either. I’d line up bottles for drinking any time over the coming decade or so. Maturity 2019-2029.

The 1998 Rauzan-Ségla shows similarly to the bottle opened at the château during my 20-year on tastings a few weeks earlier. This was picked from 24 September until 8 October. It has an atypically brash and quite opulent bouquet, a touch more glycerin than I expected, perhaps the one vintage that doffs its cap to the New World. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine line of acidity, and quite structured. Impressive weight in the mouth, and tarry black fruit wash over the senses towards the bravura of a finish. It is a wine that wants to impress and that it certainly does in what was a modest growing season. Tasted at the Rauzan-Ségla vertical at the château.

Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 1998 Rauzan-Segla (Rausan-Segla) offers up notions of preserved plums, kirsch, cigar box and exotic spices with a hint of dried Provence herbs. Medium to full-bodied with an impressive intensity of spicy blackberry preserves flavors, it is tautly structured with chewy tannins and a lively line of freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced. Great now but should hold a further 20 years. 2018 - 2038

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, this classic, austerely-styled Medoc exhibits medium to full body, true breed as well as class, and excellent aromas of subtle herbs, cedar, cassis, and new wood. Rich, medium to full-bodied, sweet on the attack, and moderately tannic, it will benefit from 4-5 more years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018.

Very classy young wine. Black currant, mineral and cherry with hints of oak. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannins. Long finish. Well done. Best after 2006. 8,330 cases made.

This wine is a paradox - impressively built, dense ruby/purple-colored, but ferociously tannic, and possibly out of balance when the tannin is measured against the wine's concentration and extract. It will require 8-10 years of cellaring, but I am not convinced there is enough harmony between its component parts to provide complex drinking. Time will tell. For now, I will give it the benefit of the doubt. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.
