Segla By Chateau Rauzan Segla Margaux 2018
14% alcohol, cork, France.

Beautiful structure to this wine and feeling of freshness throughout as well. No quibbles about the flavour profile either; this is complex and attractive at once, with redcurrant, musk, an assortment of dried herb notes and a mix of undergrowth and sweet spice characters. It’s fruity, leafy, savoury and touched – but only touched – by polished, smoky oak as well. Everything here is in ‘what’s not to like’ territory. Whether it quite has enough depth, or gravitas, for really high points is worth pondering but not worth fretting over. The quality and feel of this wine is excellent, and it will age with great charm. 93+ points.
