Lot #24. Rauzan-Ségla 2000

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 NM.
"Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index’s 2000 tasting in London . . . . Cranberry, strawberry, a touch of fig, then more secondary aromas coming through: saddle leather and Provencal herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, quite opulent and generous, silky smooth tannins but there is also real backbone to this wine. As always, this wine is masculine and broody at birth but now is coming into its own and lightening up. Red-berried fruits, a touch of pepper, orange zest, tightly coiled and pointed towards the finish. Great weight and grip on the finish. Superb." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Sep 2010
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $95
