laying-down2011 Ch. Rauzan-Segla, Margaux

This is almost as stylish as Coco Chanel herself. The ever frank John Kolasa has really worked wonders this vintage and it pushes Ch. Palmer and Ch. Margaux for top honors. Perfumed red currant fruit jumps straight out of the glass, with a darker earthier forest fruit edge following on. There is a grainy, floral lift that comes through and it really adds to the aromatic pyrotechnics here! Full, fresh and rounded with sweetness of fruit, you really feel the texture and fresh crunch in the mouth. This is considered and focused with great length. It is super impressive this year. 2017-2032.
