One of the vintage's most impressive as well as backward wines, Rauzan-Segla's 1988 still exhibits a youthful, dark rubypurple color, and a tight but promising nose of black fruits, minerals, and smoke. Full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and rich, this is an intensely concentrated, muscular, brawny wine built for the long haul.
An elegant lean Margaux, managing to equate soft fruit and fairly obstrusive tannin.
