Château Rauzan-Ségla 2003

Another Christmas wine, this one a second growth from Margaux. Opened to big aromas of berries, plum, cedar, violets, fruitcake, nuts, spice and some earthy undertones. On the palate it showed very smooth tannins, a nice streak of acidity and a creamy texture. It did feel a touch young and certainly could do with further cellaring. Overall quite an elegant and slightly old fashioned Bordeaux.
50+4+13+18+8 = 93/100
