Tasting Notes
Offers plum and berry, with hints of toasty oak and cedar. Full-bodied, with a serious midpalate of ripe fruit and silky tannins. Long and focused on the finish. Pretty and seamless. Best after 2013. 11,250 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2010

This substantial 2007 (a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot) exhibits a deep ruby/purple-tinged color along with a big, sweet kiss of licorice, forest floor, tobacco leaf, black currants, and cherries. It possesses a lovely texture, a round, ample mouthfeel, sweet tannin, and low acidity. It is drinking well now, and should continue to evolve for a decade or more. Wine Advocate.April, 2010
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Rauzan-Segla (Rausan-Segla) has a wonderful bouquet of dark red brambly fruit, sandalwood, sage and cloves—aromatics that convey a sense of warmth and homeliness. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannin on the entry; there is truffle-infused black fruit, sea salt and a healthy pinch of spice, leading to a refined, almost Pomerol-like finish. The acidity feels a little lower than other coeval vintages, affording it a sense of approachability, almost "easy-drinking" in nature. Delicious—that sums this Margaux up in a word.
