Lot #43. Rauzan-Ségla 1985

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94 NM.
"Tasted at lunch at La Trompette, it has that beguiling bouquet of cedar, mushroom, graphite and warm bricks, developing hung game aromas with further aeration in the glass. The palate displays wonderful balance and freshness, the Cabernet Sauvignon more prominent than in other bottles, a little ‘stricter’ and foursquare at first, but mellowing with time, developing that savoury, chestnut tinged, heart-warming finish. It does not have the breeding of say, Chateau Margaux ’85, but to be honest, it does not need it . . . . Tasted July 2010." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Jan 2011
Notes: 2 base neck, 2 very top shoulder, very lightly scuffed labels, 1 sign of past seepage.
