2006 Château Rauzan-Ségla, Margaux, Bordeaux Sustainable with deep creme de cassisStill young, majoring on dark cassis and rosemary infused blackberry. A sense of restraint governs the mid palate, but it doesn't dip as so many do in the vintage, and the austerity is looked for rather than imposed by lack of ripeness. Still needs time to unknot a little further but great lift that glides you to the finish line. Drink 2022 2040, 93 100, Jane Anson, Decanter. com (March 2021)
