«Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Rauzan-Gassies rocks up with flamboyant notions of kirsch, blackberry preserves, warm cassis and Chinese five spice with touches of black tea, red roses and menthol plus a waft of molten chocolate. Medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of ripe, fine-grained tannins and fantastic freshness, it has a solid core of rich fruit, finishing long with perfumed red and black fruit layers.»

A linear and fine-grained 2018 with currant and light dried-mushroom character. Medium body. Straightforward finish.

Couleur sombre et intense. Nez d'intensité moyenne et très solaire. Bouche fruitée, agréable, de consistance moyenne, marquée en finale par une présentation ferme pour l'année. A suivre à l'élevage.

A red with plenty of blackberry, blackcurrant and tile aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and compressed on the palate with firm, chewy tannins that are fine and very long. Needs three or four years to open, but will improve nicely going forward. Try after 2024.

Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Tabakig, rotes Waldbeerkonfit, blumige Nuancen, frische Kirschen und Orangenzesten. Saftig, rote Kirschen auch am Gaumen, feine, zart wirkende Tannine, dezente Süße im Abgang, ausgewogen, frisch strukturiert, ein schlanker, seidiger Margaux, der bereits früh zugänglich sein wird. (2020–2030)
