1988 Chateau Rauzan Segla Bordeaux RP--91

Robert Parker: 91 Points
Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 Jan 1998 Robert Parker 91 Drink: 2000 - 2015 $79-$180 One of the vintage's most impressive as well as backward wines, Rauzan-Segla's 1988 still exhibits a youthful, dark ruby/purple 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. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2015. Last tasted 10/97
