Château Rauzan-Gassies Margaux 2016 (750ml) Rheingau

Château Rauzan-Gassies Margaux 2016 (750ml) RheingauThe second wine of Chteau Rauzan Gassies, this textured release is dominated by the black currant fruits of Cabernet Sauvignon. Tannins and acidity give structure to a wine that is just ready to drink

TASTING NOTES: This wine brings tart raspberries and a lovely freshness in its aromas and on the palate

quite soft and with good tannins

very fine tannins to warrant at least another five to eight years of keeping

The main contrast this year is that one of usual main elements of the blend-Esola Vineyard from Amador County-was picked early for rosé to avoid potential smoke issues from nearby wildfires

The winery was founded in 1938 by Antonio Argiolas and was the first on the island to pursue quality over quantity

complex Cabernet

black pepper and some roasted meat

Dark garnet colour with brick tints

dried herbs followed by notes of cherry and raspberry

Extreme heat forges fruit with dark

Taste: Dark cherry

These are good
