| Tasting Note | RP 90/100 The 2010 is a very strong effort from this estate, which is situated next to the other, better-known Rauzan, Rauzan Segla. Dense purple, its sweet notes of underbrush, forest floor, licorice, black currants and a hint of lead pencil shavings are followed by a lush, ripe, surprisingly fleshy and succulent wine that is much more evolved and forward at this stage than when tasted from barrel. I thought this wine would need more cellar time, but it is actually approachable in spite of its size, richness and density. Give it several years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20+ years. WS 89/100 Ripe and direct, with a solid core of roasted plum and steeped black currant fruit framed by charcoal and bay leaf notes. Shows flashes of hot stone on the finish. Solid, but a touch shy on range and length. Best from 2014 through 2023 NM 91-93/100 The Rauzan-Gassies has a very fine bouquet with good purity and terroir expression. There is just a touch of greenness, but there is an attractive floral perfume. The palate is medium-bodied with good tension and acidity, a little light on the finish but I like the focus and the mineralite that has not been seen for a long time.
