Weinwisser 
Sattes Purpur mit violettem Rand. Dichtes, vielschichtiges Bouquet mit blaubeeriger Frucht und viel floralen Schattierungen. Im Gaumen seidigelegant, mit gut unterlegten Tanninen. Er überzeugt durch Klarheit und Finesse. Im langen Finale Cassis und Brombeerblüten. 18/20 Punkte. 

Wine Advocate 
The 2016 Rauzan-Ségla is blended of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot aged in 60% new and 40% one-year-old barrels for 18 months. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it sings of lifted red and black cherries, black raspberries and cassis with a rose hip tea and lilacs undercurrent plus sparks of tobacco, pencil shavings and tilled earth. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant and mineral laced with firm, fine-grained tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing with great length and depth. 

James Suckling 
The aromas of blackcurrants, sweet tobacco and sandalwood are tantalizing. Then it turns to subtle, dried fruit. Full-bodied with dense and powerful tannins, yet ending with finesse and vertical nature. Very deep. Power with finesse. Try after 2025.
