It needs a lot of swirling to wake up profound scents of crème de cassis, black cherry compote, and plum pudding, followed by nuances of cumin, unsmoked cigars, star anise, and black truffles. The medium-bodied palate delivers a firm backbone of super-ripe, grainy tannins and a refreshing line to cut through the dense, muscular black fruits, finishing long and opulent. It still needs some time, but WOW!\" LPB for TWI Mar 2024\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJD98 \"I continue to love the 2016 Rauzan-Ségla, a thrillingly complete, flawlessly balanced, and borderline perfect Margaux that should be snatched up by readers. Notes of cassis, graphite, tobacco leaf, and earth all give way to a full-bodied effort that has building tannins, no hard edges, and a level of purity and elegance that’s just about off the charts. Given its purity and balance, it’s accessible today, but it will be best with 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 3-4 decades.\" JD May 2019\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJS98 \"The aromas of blackcurrants, sweet tobacco and sandalwood are tantalizing. Then it turns to subtle, dried fruit. Full-bodied with dense and powerful tannins, yet ending with finesse and vertical nature. Very deep. Power with finesse. Try after 2025.\" JS Jan 2019","brand":"Rauzan-Segla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48172445827309,"sku":"BDX:RAU:SEGL-PK12-2016-F0L0C0","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXRAUSEGL-PK12-2016-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1750986738","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2016-chateau-rauzan-segla-margaux-case-of-12-btls","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
