CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2006 Rauzan-Ségla is a classic wine from the vintage, with a medium-bodied, relatively firm, savory style that’s drinking at point today. Assorted darker fruits, graphite, dried herbs, and earth all define the bouquet and it’s straight, focused, and enjoyable. Drink it over the coming decade.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Deep garnet in color with a touch of brick, the 2006 Rauzan-Ségla gives up dusty earth, sandalwood, cigar and Indian spices scents with a core of mincemeat pie, prunes and dried mulberries plus a waft of dried roses. Medium-bodied, firm and chewy, it has bags of freshness supporting the muscular core of evolved, spicy fruit, finishing minerally. The blend this year is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, harvested between September 21st and October 7th, at an average yield of 52 hectoliters per hectare. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, 50% new. The alcohol is 13%.
