Château Rauzan Ségla - Margaux 2002

Wine Advocate

91 / 100

par Neal Martin le 13/11/2009

Tasted blind at Farr’s 2002 Bordeaux tasting. This has a very attractive nose with blackberry, plum, a touch of graphite and violets. Very fine definition. The palate is full-bodied with firm, almost sinewy tannins, harmonious and smooth in texture leading to a slightly more masculine, austere finish that previously encountered. Stylish, a wine with breeding. Tasted October 2009.

Paler than most. Sweet and floral at first but a bit brutal on the end. Drink 2011-19.

par Robert Parker le 29/04/2005

53% of the crop made it into this blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. An outstanding wine with a dark ruby/purple color and more power, richness, and concentration than its younger sibling, the 2002 reveals outstanding potential, exhibiting plenty of concentrated black currant fruit with some vanilla, herbs, and licorice. It has about the same level of tannin as the 2003, but seems to have sweeter fruit and more mid-palate and length. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022

Firm wine with blackberry and dark tobacco character. Medium- to full-bodied, with medium tannins and a medium finish. Very tight and reserved. Best after 2008. 7,500 cases made.

Végétal, crerise, baies noires, épices douces.Crémeux et ample, tanins soyeux puis mâche fine en finale, marquée par l'acidité. Matière en retrait mais facile et plaisant

par Jacques Dupont le 23/10/2003

Pêche de vigne, rose, notes d'épices, bouche très souple, petits tanins serrés et fins, bcp de fruit.Un style de Margaux pur et précis qui nous plait bien. A ce stade, on a une petite préférence pour le 2001, qui était une oeuvre d'art à Rauzan

Great depth of crimson-black. Odd, unusual, sweet black cherry nose but a lively leafiness too. Very sumptuous plate that caresses in a most un-2002 way and manages to hide the pretty good charge of ripe tannins. Very flattering.A lot of winemaking in here that has resulted in a pleasure package 17.5+
