1998 Château Rausan-Ségla (Rauzan-Ségla) (France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux)


Popped and poured. I like this a lot. Youthful color. Intense nose of leather, green tobacco leaf, black currant, and cedar plank. Still amazingly tannic and structured, but good fruit and earth in a medium bodied package with a very long finish. Still 5 years minimum from peak, and I believe likely 7-10 years from peak, but it's drinking well right now. A very generous gift from a fellow Austin wine lover.
