Parker about Château Rauzan-Ségla 2004
Deep garnet in color, the 2004 Rauzan-Ségla opens with slightly broody, muted notions of damp soil, scorched earth and charcoal with an emerging core of stewed plums, baked cherries and warm cassis plus hints of menthol, wild sage and dusty soil. Medium-bodied and elegantly style in the mouth, it has lovely freshness and an earthy core with well-played chewy tannins and a good, long finish. The blend this year is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, harvested between September 30 and October 16 at an average yield of 52 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 50% new. The alcohol is 13%.

Château Rauzan-Ségla 2004
The 2004 Château Rauzan-Ségla is a classic Margaux from a vintage known for wines of finesse and elegance. 2004 was a year with stable growing conditions, resulting in wines with a good balance of freshness, fruit, and structure.
In the glass, the 2004 vintage displays a brilliant ruby red color that still appears youthful. The nose unfolds with a complex bouquet of black currants, plums, and cherries, accompanied by delicate floral notes of violets and a hint of licorice. These are complemented by subtle spicy nuances of cedarwood, tobacco, and a hint of pencil lead, which are characteristic of Margaux and especially Rauzan-Ségla.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and an excellent balance between fruit and acidity. The dark berry aromas are well integrated, supported by a subtle spice and a hint of earthy notes. The Château Rauzan-Ségla 2004 displays a beautiful freshness that lends the wine a lively structure without compromising its maturity and depth. The finish reveals mineral notes and a delicate oak note, underscoring the long, elegant finish.
This vintage is ideal for enjoying now, but also offers potential for further ageing. Perfect with roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses, the Château Rauzan-Ségla 2004 demonstrates the classic elegance for which the winery is known.
