Michael Schuster | Quite dense, blackberry, blackcurrant, and gravel aromas, very persistent to smell; rich mid-weight, with a most attractive fleshy yet fresh feel and a super-fine, almost imperceptible tannin; a very fine balance. A lovely impression of richness without force; sweetly ripe, long, refined, subtle; succulent, satiny, so even, so effortless, and finishing with a wonderful freshness. A new, particularly plush, silky texture, a real beauty in the vintage. A gem, which will surely become a great Rauzan-Ségla with age. 2030–50+.
