The red wine Château Rauzan-Gassies, vintage 2012 from the winery Château Rauzan-Gassies has been rated in 2015 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc from the region Margaux in France.
Dark ruby-garnet with purple reflections and a hint of brightening at the rim. A complex nose of honey and cherry fruit, pickled cherries and candied orange zest alongside a touch of herbal spice. Juicy on the palate, with a core of sweet fruit that brings opulent texture and supported by fine, silky tannins. Plenty of stuffing, it's persistent and with a pleasant acid structure in the background for support. Shows length and certain ageing potential. Taken in context of the vintage, this is particularly successful.
