Tasting Notes

Vinous 93-95

The 2023 Rauzan-Ségla was picked from September 7 until 29 at 30hL/ha, matured in 55% new oak. It contains more Cabernet Sauvignon this year (85%) due to the mildew-affected Merlot being parsed out of the blend. This has a very aromatic bouquet of wilted violets, black cherries and hints of camphor, with a faint oyster shell note lingering in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. This is endowed with tension and purity, while a light marine influence imparts character. Armed with an energetic, spicy finish, this is a more classical Rauzan-Ségla that deserves five or six years in bottle. Even so, it already conveys an air of sophistication.

Anticipated maturity: 2029-2050

Robert Parker 90-92

The 2023 Ségla is a terrific effort, offering up aromas of cassis, cherries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate built around lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins. It includes almost 20% press wine. [William Kelley, 04/26/2024]
