Lobenberg: Schwarz, rubinrot glänzend, leicht durchscheinend. Hocharomatisch duftige Nase. Orangenschale, etwas Melone, Schwarzkirsche, süße rote Kirsche, ein Hauch von Brombeere, Praline. Mineralisches, salziges Steinmehl. Immens frischer Mund, tolle rassige Säure, berauschend! Auch jetzt wieder rote und schwarze Frucht, viel frische Zwetschge, Walderdbeere, Brombeere, nur ein Hauch von Cassis, ein wenig Blaubeere. Ein Hauch von Lorbeer, Steinmehl, dunkle Milchschokolade. Alles verwoben mit dem satten Glyzerin, hohem Alkohol und butterweichem Tannin zu einem sehr frische, berauschenden Erlebnis. Ganz großer Wein, ziemlich perfekter, überaus rassiger Margaux. 97-98

-- Suckling: Beautiful clarity of fruit with raspberries and currants on the nose. Roses and other flowers too. It's almost hard to describe, but there's a real purity. Full body, with fabulous balance and depth. It has everything in the right place. Best ever? Try it in 2018. 98/100

-- WS: This is a step ahead of the pack, thanks to its dense, sappy core of kirsch, blackberry and plum sauce that's offset by mouthwatering acidity and a long iron note on the finish. This has weight, but stays velvety and pure, with impressive length. 94-97/100 -- BD: Excellent nez floral, un peu plus d'intensite et de noblesse de texture que les echantillons voisins (Lascombes et Monbrison), mur, subtil, tres race, idealement " Margaux ". 18 - 19/20 -- Parker: Only 45% of the crop made it into the 2010 Rauzan-Segla, which is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This wine has an average pH of 3.6, but at 13.9%, the alcohol is the highest ever measured. The tannin levels in this wine suggest the great 1986 Rauzan-Segla, while the personality of the wine comes close to mirroring the 2005. Dense purple, with hints of menthol, blueberry, black currant and sweet, earthy notes, the wine is full-bodied and displays terrific purity, texture, and overall precision. The tannin levels are high, but the wine balances them out with its impressive level of concentration. This wine will probably need 5-10 years of cellaring when released and drink well for 30 or more years, given the fact that the 1986, at age 25, is still an adolescent. 92-94/100 -- PM: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, süße Waldbeeren, ein Hauch von dunklem Beerenkonfit und feinen Gewürzen, schokoladiger Touch; vollreife Herzkirschen, frischer Säurebogen, hat einige Rasse. Extraktsüßer Nachhall, bleibt gut haften, sehr gutes Reifepotenzial, reife Kirschen auch im Rückgeschmack. 92-94+/100 -- NM: Tasted at the château, the Rauzan Segla has a delightful bouquet, tight at first but opening in the glass, offering gorgeous blackberry, cassis, violet and dark plum scents that are beautifully defined and are quintessential Margaux. The palate is very representative of how the wines showed in barrel. Svelte tannins, pitch perfect acidity, caressing texture, plenty of ripe black fruit infused with immense minerality. This is a magnificent Margaux, certainly one of the greatest Rauzan Segla's to date...even if it does lack a crayon drawing on the label. 96/100
