Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 94
The 2020 Rauzan Gassies is a very beautiful and expressive wine that marries power with finesse. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, espresso and chocolate infuse the 2020 with notable depth. Rauzan Gassies is a pretty rich Margaux, and yet all the elements are so well balanced. I admire the depth and substance here.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2040

The 2020 Rauzan Gassies offers light but quite fragrant blackberry, briar and iodine scents and (hooray!) there is no sign of the greenness that has afflicted some recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied and quite sweet, with angular tannins on the entry, but unfortunately it does lack complexity and density toward the bitter finish. Nevertheless, it does show better than some vintages and I will "keep the faith."
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2034
