Tasting Notes and Scores

92 RMPJ

Significantly better from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2005 Rauzan-Gassies appears to be the finest wine this estate has ever produced. Dense purple-hued with a beautiful perfume of camphor, creme de cassis, licorice, bay leaf, and incense, it is a full-bodied, stunningly concentrated, broad, rich Margaux with lovely integrated tannins. This backward 2005 will handsomely repay cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2030+.

An earthy touch to the dark fruit but there’s also an aromatic seed waiting to push through. Not very expressive at the moment. Dryish tannins mark the very end. (JH)

Smudgy rim. Not much nose. Very sweet and thick then greenish tinge on the finish. Caricature wine. (JR)
