The 2002 Château Rauzan-Ségla (Margaux) is a classic Bordeaux Second Growth. Currently sitting in its prime drinking window, it offers a mature, elegant profile of dark berries, tobacco, cigar box, and exotic spices, supported by silky tannins.
Blend: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc.
Vintage Profile: A cool, wet summer followed by a beautiful Indian summer allowed the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness, resulting in a wine with remarkable freshness and delicate structure.
Tasting Profile: Shows a dark ruby or brick-garnet color. The nose exhibits concentrated black currant, dried rose, cedar, and figs. On the palate, it is light- to medium-bodied, harmonious, and peppery with a lingering, silky finish.
