Château Rauzan-Gassies 2005 Barrel sample Red (Margaux)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Barrel sample. Solid, dry tannins, very firm and hard, but they are also ripe. The wine has high extraction, very dark fruit flavors, but resists being too huge. This could well turn out to be a very elegant wine.

Château Rauzan-Gassies 2009 Barrel sample Red (Margaux)

90-92 Barrel sample. Tannin dominated wine, very solid, chunky. It has a very dry, firm core, with the surrounding fruit extracted and tight, just a final hint of juiciness.

Soft and ripe wine that shows the richness of the year while offering a core of tannins. It is immediately attractive, although the structure and final tannins do promise aging potential.

Château Rauzan-Gassies 2010 Red (Margaux)
With the 2009 and 2010 vintages, Rauzan-Gassies has hit its stride after many years of disappointments. This 2010 is powerful, fruity, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon’s black currant flavor. There is a touch of barnyard at the end, but this is likely a passing phase.

- Online Exclusive
89-91 Barrel sample. With sweet caramel aromas, this is a jammy wine, all sweet fruits, richness and not much structure. A wine that shows warmth and ripe fruits.

Château Rauzan-Gassies 2012 Barrel sample Red (Margaux)

88–90. Barrel sample. Packed with dark tannins, this wine is concentrated and dry with considerable extraction, giving the palate a bitter coffee character. It could stay severe in style.
