Rauzan Gassies
-
Vinous - Neal Martin (89)
The 2016 Rauzan-Gassies is delineated and focused on the nose, the new oak neatly subsumed into the vibrant red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, a little gritty in texture but with a complex earthy, cedar-tinged finish reminiscent of a Pauillac. Fine length here, but it needs time to smooth out its edges. Still, it's the best bottle I have tasted. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.Inc. VAT£560.44 -

Complex aromas of blackcurrant, black truffle, walnut, bark and earth follow through to a full body with dense, refined tannins that are layered and chewy, yet silky. Very long finish. Best since 2015?Inc. VAT£549.64 -
