Parker about Château Rauzan-Ségla 2000
Deep brick in color, the 2000 Rauzan-Ségla gives a mature nose of sandalwood, sweaty leather, cinnamon stick and star anise with wafts of raisin cake, dried cherries and preserved plums. Medium-bodied with a chewy texture and a good amount of remaining dried berries and savory layers, it finishes just a little rustic.

Suckling over Château Rauzan-Ségla 2000
This is just starting to open up on the nose with tobacco, plums and currants throughout. Full-bodied, with lots of tobacco and chocolate that turns to notes of coffee and fruit on the finish. The palate is just starting to come around. Why should you wait for this? The winemaker says that it will be better after 2012. Rich and slightly austere still at the finish.

Château Rauzan-Ségla 2000 is an outstanding Bordeaux wine from the Margaux appellation, known for its elegant and finely structured wines. The 2000 vintage is considered one of the best of recent decades and demonstrates the exceptional quality of this winery. In the glass, the wine presents a deep, dark ruby red color, indicative of its concentration and maturity. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of dark fruits such as cassis, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by spicy notes such as tobacco, leather, and a subtle wood spice derived from aging in oak barrels.
On the palate, the Château Rauzan-Ségla 2000 displays an impressive balance between power and elegance. The tannins are fine and velvety, yet carry enough structure to ensure the wine's longevity. The fruit flavors continue, supported by subtle notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a hint of cedar wood. The acidity is well integrated, giving the wine a fresh vibrancy that enhances enjoyment.
The finish is long and persistent, with a beautiful harmony of flavors that gradually unfold, lending the wine a special depth. Château Rauzan-Ségla 2000 is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has many years of cellaring potential for further aging and development.
